Foundation: Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
The Andrew Mellon Foundation has provided over five and one half million dollars to support playwrights who are embedded in local theaters. The HowlRound web site provides more information about this collaboration which fuels creativity and engages communities in viewing this artistic flowering. This year eighteen grants have been made available. The Andrew Mellon Foundation is known for its continuous support of artists everywhere.
A list of grant recipients and of their productions are included. These grants help the playwrights who can find a real home in their embedded location. It also allows them health insurance and an adequate salary which is something that is often lacking in the real world of employment.
