Landesman said, "I continue to be impressed with the creative, innovative and excellent projects brought forward by arts organizations across the country. Our grantees are not only furthering their art forms but also enhancing their neighborhoods by making them more vibrant, livable, and fun."
Doreen Simko, president of the GMOF, says, "We are thrilled to have again received a grant from the NEA. It is a credit to our artistic director, Taras Kulish, who assembles an outstanding group of professionals each year, and to our many volunteers, who make the festival possible."
The opera festival will take place in the Mad River Valley during the first three weeks in June 2011 with concerts, an Emerging Artist production of Mozart's Cosi fan tutte, and several rehearsals and master classes open to the public. The festival will end with two fully staged performances of Bizet's Carmen at the Barre Opera House on June 17 and 19.

The National Endowment for the Arts was established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government that has awarded more than $4 billion on projects of artistic excellence, creativity and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The NEA extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector.
