PORTLAND — The city has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The city landed the grant for its Art at Work program, which helps encourage art projects created by a partnership of city workers and the public.

Under the 4-year-old program, art – such as posters, photographs, prints and poems  – produced by city workers is exhibited in city galleries, parking garages, lunchrooms, libraries and city buildings, such as the Portland Police Station.

The grant was awarded under the NEA’s new Our Town program. It will fund Portland’s new “Meeting Place” initiative, which will create a partnership with the city’s neighborhood associations for exhibits that reflect Portland’s diverse neighborhoods.
