Cape Elizabeth Arts Commission is taking applications for its second grant, to be awarded this fall.

The commission, funded by the Town, is charged with supporting the arts in the community. Some of the commission's activities have included purchasing artwork for public display by student artists, sponsoring different bands and performances, and helping select exhibit material for the gallery at the Thomas Memorial Library.

The first Arts Commission grant was awarded last May to Jennifer Feeney Morgan, who will use the funds to help complete her first children's book, "A Firefly's Quest." As special thanks to the commission, Morgan will give a short presentation of "A Firefly's Quest" to the community in December, and a copy of the book to the Children's Library.

The goal of the Arts Commission grant is to provide individualized funding support for activities and events that bring the arts, in all forms, to the community. All approved applicants must conclude their project with a public performance or exhibit.

Applications for the grant are available at Thomas Memorial Library, 6 Scott Dyer Road; Town Hall, 320 Ocean House Road; or accessed through the Town website. More details about the grant are available on the application.

Cape Elizabeth residents or groups that primarily serve the community, except members of the Arts Commission or their immediate family, are eligible to apply.

Applications are due Nov. 1, 2002 and will be awarded by Dec. 1.
