The Wallace Center Receives Grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts

The Wallace Center is honored to announce that we have received a $14,000 grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts to create policies that guide our interpretation work. Over the past year, we have worked closely with our partners at Auburn University and 1504 Studios to create a philosophy that helps us convey the history of the Wallace place and demonstrate the strength and resilience of the people who lived there. This grant will allow us to create an infrastructure to ensure we are in compliance with legal and ethical standards as we proceed with our work.

We look forward to working with partners from 1504, Auburn, the Alabama Department of Archives & History, and several Wallace Center board members who are humanities scholars on this project.

Many thanks to ASCA for this opportunity.
