Grantee Spotlight: Montclair State University & Perkins Center for the Arts

November 30, 2018

Joining host Bob Mann are Dr. Lois Oppenheim, Professor at Montclair State University and Queen Nur, Folklife Center Director of the Perkins Center for the Arts.

The Incubation and Action Grant program at NJCH provides funding for public humanities projects through a competitive grant process. Montclair State University received an Action Grant to develop a documentary exploring the complex meanings of “recovery” from severe psychiatric disorders. Perkins Center for the Arts received an Incubation Grant to examine folklore, art, and culture through the lens of food tradition in three South Jersey counties.
