EAST HAVEN, CT — Two East Haven organizations were awarded grants by the CT Cultural Fund.

The East Haven Arts Commission was awarded $5,500 and The Shore Line Trolley Museum received $19,100.

"For over a quarter-century these general operations grants have been making a difference in keeping Connecticut's arts and cultural organizations vibrant and relevant in communities all across the state, including right here along the shoreline and in south-central Connecticut," Sen. Christine Cohen (D-Branford) said in a statement. "So much of who we are as citizens revolves around music and history and theatre – all the things that bring beauty and meaning to our lives in different and sometimes unexpected ways."
