bmb_final_400.jpgThe Lower Manhattan Cultural Council has just announced the selection of 13 artists and arts organizations to receive support through its Grants for Art in Public Spaces program, made possible with the support of the September 11th Fund. The list can be found here. It includes the following by David Byrne:

The landmark Battery Maritime Building will be the site of artist David Byrne’s massive undertaking, Playing the Building, produced by non-profit arts organization Creative Time. The 9,000 square foot building will be transformed into an interactive musical instrument through the use of a retrofitted antique organ, which will serve as the interface for the public’s interaction, triggering musical sounds produced by the building’s structure.

This is the third and final year the LMCC will award grants for their Grants for Art in Public Spaces (GAPS) and Production Grant programs. GAPS has supported public projects and cultural events that take place in public spaces below Canal Street and in Chinatown. The Production Grants supported the core artistic and cultural programming for organizations based in Lower Manhattan. Both grant programs were made possible with the support of the September 11th Fund.
