MGN WASHINGTON (KTVZ) – Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., announced Tuesday a total of $450,000 is coming to Oregon from the National Endowment for the Arts' for Arts Projects and Challenge America grants in several communities in the state: Beaverton, Bend, Eugene, Portland, Salem, Springfield, and Warm Springs. 'Art plays a critical role in enriching our lives, and it's important that we give the artists in our communities the support they need to keep delivering their crafts and bringing communities together,' said Merkley, who used his position on the Senate Appropriations committee to help secure nearly $400 million in the last two years for NEA.
