Acadoama Center for the Arts grants funds for Mamou Mardi Gras

Acadina Center for the Arts awarded Mamou a Decentralized Arts Funding Grant for $1,729 for paying bands that performed in the town’s recent Mardi Gras events.
Pamela Hall of Mamou, who is a grant consultant, wrote the grant request. “The town wants to thank Acadiana Arts for the grant funds,” she said.
