The Paramount Arts Resource Trust Incorporated has been awarded an arts and culture grant from the Xcel Energy Foundation.

The $15,000 grant will be used by the Paramount to fund outreach programs such as Teen Night/Open Studio, Gallery St. Germain and the annual Arts Camp for artists and educators.

Executive Director for the Paramount Arts Resource Trust Tony Goddard says the Xcel Energy Foundation grant will further the mission of the Paramount Arts Resource Trust of “providing opportunities for artistic production, creative exploration, arts education and the enjoyment of arts and entertainment.”
