NCEF manages the grant application process and FLGC focuses our funding on schools within the area in and near the Lower Grand Coulee.

Supporting Community Through Art

We are strong believers in the benefits of art and artistic experiences to a community. We also believe that supporting artistic experiences in schools (as well as our community) helps students with their self-confidence, self-understanding, and inventiveness. Music, theater and other collaborative art experiences can help students with their social and communication skills.

FLGC sponsors the participation of Soap Lake 5th grade students in the Beauty of Bronze program, an annual arts education program based in Wenatchee that takes place in participating local schools. This program gives fifth graders the opportunity to work with a professional artist to create and exhibit their own small bronze sculptures.
