The Wisconsin Humanities Council recently announced that it has awarded grants, including two for programs of Jewish community interest, according to its Humanities Booyah online newsletter.
It gave $2,000 to Lawrence University in Appleton toward an exhibition and programing about “The Collages of Miriam Beerman.”
Beerman was a Jewish painter and mixed media artist whose work will be featured at the university in October and November.
The council also gave $1,800 to the Jewish Museum Milwaukee toward a program in collaboration with Arts@Large on the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
This project complements the JMM summer exhibit “Chasing Dreams: Baseball and Becoming American.”
