Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4), along with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced the release of $100,000 in grant funding to support the Milwaukee Ballet Company.

This grant was awarded as a part of NEA's Our Town initiative designed to promote creativity that unites communities through the arts.

The Milwaukee Ballet Company will use this award to fund a new building through their Harmony Initiative project, providing additional office and performance space.
