from the TN Arts Commission, this message:

NASHVILLE - - As many Americans respond to the unprecedented catastrophe 
Hurricane Katrina, the Tennessee Arts Commission extends its Special 
Opportunity Grant Program to provide funds for evacuees to attend arts and 
cultural events in Tennessee. From Memphis to Knoxville, the Volunteer 
State has taken in nearly 16,000 individuals who have been displaced by 
Hurricane Katrina. Alongside the efforts of organizations providing 
shelter, food, jobs, and housing, the Tennessee Arts Commission offers the 
unique opportunity for people being housed in shelters to take advantage 
not only of Tennessee's welcoming hospitality but its rich cultural heritage.

To read Guidelines and make an Application for these funds, go to the
