Groups get art grants

Durham and Flint Hills Counterpoint, a land conservancy group in Peabody, got $10,000 in Kansas Arts Commission grants Tuesday. They are among 91 groups to get a total of $750,000.

Durham got $6,940 for public arts and murals, while Flint Hills Counterpoint got $3,321 for “arts everywhere,” according to a release. It seems likely that Durham may use some of the money it got to commission artist Ellamonique Baccus to paint a mural on the north wall of Main Street Café.

Flint Hills Counterpoint could not be reached Tuesday.
