The Harold Alfond Foundation on Friday announced a $1.5 million grant to Waterville Creates! to support the nonprofit and the work of its arts and cultural partners in Waterville.
“Waterville Creates! has become the city’s hub of art leadership, bringing together all of Waterville’s major arts organizations,” Greg Powell, chairman of the Harold Alfond Foundation, said in a release announcing the Alfond Foundation’s $1.5 million grant. “This funding confirms our commitment to supporting the Waterville Creates! mission to lead the marketing and programming efforts on behalf of the Waterville’s arts and cultural institutions.”
