Our courthouse has been awarded a $5000 grant from the Salisbury Rowan Community Foundation through the Foundation for the Carolinas. The grant is to complete a mural project in Courtroom #5, the courtroom utilized for all matters concerning children and families involved with the DSS foster care system. Local artist Shane Pierce, also known as Abstract Dissent, has agreed to create the mural for $5000.00 He is scheduled to begin work on February 2, 2023.
I am requesting that the County officially be our fiscal agent in this project and accept the grant funds on behalf of the courthouse and then disperse them to artist Shane Pierce. The total amount of the award goes to the artist for supplies and installation.
