Georgia The Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) has awarded $61,843 in grants to non-profit arts and non-arts organizations statewide through the Fast Track/Quick Benefits Program.

All of the funded applications will receive the full amount requested for the project. "These projects represent some of the most creative programming in the State this year and are supported by the strong project design and management skill of the applicant organizations," said GCA Grants Director Walton Ray.
