Atlanta (November 2012) – The Target Foundation has awarded a $2,000 grant to Atlanta’s Piccadilly Puppets Company (PPC). The grant is funding free puppetry performances in five Atlanta Public Elementary schools. The funds came from the foundation’s Arts, Culture & Design in Schools Grant program.

The educational shows include Butterfly Ballad, the story of a caterpillar that earns his wings, and Cherokee Tales, which imparts Native American myths and legends. The performances either have been or will be staged at elementary schools including Kimberly, Garden Hills, Whitefoord and Dobbs this month. A show is planned for a fifth Atlanta school at a later date. The Woodruff Arts Center Young Audiences program arranges school performances for Piccadilly Puppets.

“Education is an important part of our mission, so this grant helps us bring our performances to a wider audience,” said PPC Artistic Director Nancy Riggs.

Started in 1969, The Piccadilly Puppets Company is a non-profit touring puppet theater dedicated to providing puppetry experiences of highly artistic quality to young audiences of ethnically and culturally diverse populations. It has performed at festivals across the U.S. and the world. It shares a wide variety of subject areas with enthusiastic audiences, and constantly experiments with new puppetry and story-telling techniques.

Piccadilly Puppets receives funding from the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, through the guidance of the Fulton County Arts Council. Fulton County is the leading public funder for the arts in the State of Georgia. Our grant from the Fulton County Arts Council supplements our main source of income, which is the fees we charge for performances. This enables us to hire skilled, professional puppeteers and pay them a competitive wage, while still keeping our prices affordable to most groups. We can also give back to the community through occasional discounted or even free performances. Through the application and review process and final reports, the arts council also helps us to set goals, to meet artistic standards, to be financially responsible, and to be held accountable for the way we spent the funds at the end of each year. These grants benefit not only our organization, but more importantly YOU, as our audience. Please join us in thanking the Board of Commissioners and the Arts Council. If you live in Fulton and enjoy the arts, please let your Commissioner know!
