These funds have a direct impact on communities across Tennessee, in both urban and rural areas. Grant categories include: Arts Build Communities, Arts Access, Arts Education, Arts Project Support, Funds For At-Risk Youth, General Operating Support, Individual Artist Fellowship, Major Cultural Institution, Rural Arts Project Support, Student Ticket Subsidy, Technical Assistance, Touring, Special Opportunities, and Professional Development Support.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission\u2019s allocation process involves a review by citizen advisory panels made up of Tennesseans with expertise in appropriate arts disciplines and a review and final approval by the full 15-member Tennessee Arts Commission.<\/p>\n<p>The Tennessee Arts Commission\u2019s matching grants are made possible through an appropriation of state funds by the General Assembly, Federal dollars from the National Endowment for the Arts, and by Tennesseans who purchased specialty and collegiate license plates. The sale of specialty and collegiate license plates, which are voluntarily purchased by Tennesseans each year, make up $5.5 million of the Commission\u2019s grant funding.<\/p>\n<p>The Tennessee Arts Commission is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences that add value to the lives of every citizen, and enhances the quality of life in Tennessee communities.<\/p>\n<p>Additional information on grant programs offered by the Tennessee Arts Commission is available at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arts.state.tn.us\/\"  target=\"_blank\">www.arts.state.tn.us<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>About Senator Tim Barnes<\/h3>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_1292\" style=\"width: 95px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1292\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1292\" title=\"Senator Tim Barnes\" src=\"http:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/sentimbarnes1.jpg\" alt=\"Senator Tim Barnes\" width=\"85\" height=\"120\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Senator Tim Barnes<\/p><\/div>Sen.
