Events that are interactive and include endeavors such as music, art, performances, and educational outreach will be considered.
“The opportunity to highlight Shelby County in all of our uniqueness to the potential massive amounts of visitors, calls for SCTVB to extend funding opportunities to groups or individuals with unique ideas and events that directly align with the eclipse,” said Rachael Ackley, Executive Director of Shelby County Tourism and Visitors Bureau.
“Submitting for an eclipse grant is easy, and the form can be found online at www.visitshelbycounty.com/grants. Those wishing to submit will fill out the online form and send back to the linked email address,” said Tony Titus, President of the SCTVB Commission/Board.
The first round of grant applications will be considered on Aug. 14.
The total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024. Shelbyville is in the direct path of totality viewing of the eclipse.
