City Hall
50 West 13th Street
Dubuqe, Iowa, 52001
Dear Mayor Buol,
It is my great pleasure to offer congratulations to you and the city of Dubuque on receiving an Our Town grant
from the National Endowment for the Arts.
As you know, Our Town supports creative placemaking efforts -- efforts like yours in Dubuque, where you are
using the arts to shape their social, physical, and economic characters.
More than 400 communities nationwide submitted statements of interest in the Our Town program. After a
rigorous, peer panel review, just 51 projects were selected for investment.
Effective partnerships are key to the success of Our Town. That spirit of collaboration is only possible because
of the support of mayors like you who understand from experience what Mark Stern has shown scientifically:
the arts are a force for social cohesion and civic engagement; they make a major difference in child welfare; and
the arts fight poverty.
Enclosed, please find a copy of the Our Town grant announcement.
So, thank you, Mayor Buol, for your leadership. I hope we will have the occasion to meet soon, so I can hear
firsthand about your success with this grant.
Sincerely,
gr--(7eC4a9V-A,A10.

NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman Announces Inaugural Our Town Grants
More than $6.5 million to be invested in 51 communities that are supporting
the arts as part of a community revitalization strategy
Washington, DC— Today, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced the inaugural round
of "Our Town" funding, totaling $6.575 million in grants to 51 communities in 34 states that have
created public - private partnerships to strengthen the arts while shaping the social, physical, and
economic characters of their neighborhoods, towns, cities, and regions. NEA Chairman Rocco
Landesman made the announcement during an online press conference.
Chairman Landesman said, "Communities across our country are investing in the arts and smart design
to enhance Americans' quality of life and to promote the distinctive identities of our communities. Our
Town creates partnerships among local governments and arts and design organizations to strengthen
the creative sector and help revitalize the overall community."
NEA's Director of Design Jason Schupbach noted, "Creative placemaking is a strategy for making places
vibrant. Arts and design are essential parts of the complex work of building a livable, sustainable
community."
Our Town grants range from $25,000 to $250,000 and represent a range of rural, suburban, and urban
communities with populations ranging from just over 2,000 people to more than 8.2 million people.
More than half of the Our Town grants were awarded to communities with a population of less than
200,000, and seven to communities of fewer than 25,000 people. Grants were awarded for planning,
design, and arts engagement projects that strengthen arts organizations while increasing the livability
of communities across America.
By requiring a partnership between local government and an arts or design organization, Our Town
encourages creative, cross sector solutions to the challenges facing towns, cities, and the arts
community.
Examples of projects receiving Our Town grants:
East Bay Center for the Performing Arts in Richmond, California, will receive $150,000 to support the
commissioning of an interactive art installation by new media artist Scott Snibbe, which will feature

of the federal government. To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic
