MARINE ART NEWS
Grants Available to Conserve Public Marine Sculpture Mariners are the subject of almost 300 public sculptures in the United States. Unfortunately, 52 percent of our nation's bronze, steel and stone sailors are in need of conservation treatment, and many of them require urgent attention. Save Outdoor Sculpture! is proud to announce the availability of cash awards for such treatment. T hanks to generous support from Target Stores and the National Endowment for the Arts, communities can preserve public sculpture as a lasting gift for the next generation. Through 30 November 2000, at leas t one sculpture in each state plus the District of Columbia will receive partial support to cover costs of professional conservation. These awards are competitive and available nationwide, so do not delay. SOS! urges interested parties to call immediately-assessments take time and are the first step for any application for funding. For more information and application s, visit SOS! at www. heritagepreservation.org or call SOS! at 1-888-SCULPT (888 767-7285). - ANNIE SUGAR, SOS!
