Arts, Humanities and Historic Preservation (AHHP) grant funds are available for community organizations and local governments seeking supplementary funds for local arts, humanities, and historic preservation projects.
The Committee supports public participation in local art, history, and humanities-related activities through ongoing programs and the issuance of grant awards. The Committee is composed of five elected county supervisors and one citizen member. It is responsible for establishing policies and programs as well as general oversight of all county activities relating to artistic, cultural, or historic preservation endeavours.
