2 OC Groups Win NEA Grants

The latest round of National Endowment for the Arts grants made awards to San Clemente's Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens and to the Garden Grove-based international organization, Guitar Foundation of America. The former received $5,000 for its readings series, which is regularly showcasing outstanding writers at this historic Ole Hanson mansion overlooking the sea. The latter received $7,500 for its continued work archiving important musical scores for classical guitar. Kudos to both organizations!
