Here are some highlights:
- The National Building Museum gets $50,000 for an exhibit on the work of the Bjarke Ingels architecture firm (including, presumably, this dizzying human maze)
- PEN/Faulkner gets $40,000 to provide free books and author visits to area public schools
- GALA Hispanic Theatre gets $30,000 to produce Los empenos de una casa (The House of Desire), a 17th century Mexican play
