Grant Achievements University of Virginia Arts Council
In 1990, the President's Council for the Arts was created with Mort Caplin as its chair. The first annual fund grant was made by the Arts Council to the University in 1999 for a studio art building plan. This began as an informal process of contributions from the Arts Council to advance areas of the arts at U.Va. The formal grant process was launched formally in 2003.
