Cahaba Heights named as finalist for ArtPlace America grant

Cahaba Heights has many exciting developments planned for its future. Most recently, the area was announced as one of ArtPlace America's 97 finalists for its 2014 grant consideration. In each proposed project, the arts will play a role to shape the community's social, physical and economic futures.

According to the ArtPlace America website, the proposed project would "creatively revitalize Cahaba Heights and fill a void of leadership for planning in the area of arts and cultural activities for the communities of Vestavia Hills."

ArtPlace received a total 1,270 letters of inquiry. Grantees will be announced in June. ArtPlace America is a collaboration among 14 foundations, eight federal agencies and six financial institutions dedicated to strengthening the field of creative placemaking.
