Arts at the Palace is pleased to announce it has received a $4,550 grant from the Central New York Community Foundation to support its parking lot pollinator garden project.

Beginning last fall, Arts at the Palace has been working with naturalist Morgan Elmore and artist Tim Rand to create a native pollinator garden in the parking lot adjacent to the Palace Theater, which is owned by the Hamilton Initiative.

The 30′ x 6′ garden will be certified by the National Wildlife Federation and will include native plant communities that sustain native insects and birds.

A public, outdoor mural will be created on the side of the Palace Theater building within the garden space.

The garden is a year-long project that will include a site-specific native plant garden design and installation, site-specific mural design and installation, pop-up mini-gallery, educational activities, and community engagement opportunities. Arts at the Palace maintains a project web page, where community members can follow the progress of the project and learn about opportunities to participate.

“We are excited about all of the ways the garden will involve the community, including serving as inspiration for a children’s songwriting workshop to take place next summer,” said Elizabeth Douglas, Arts at the Palace’s Executive Director.

The parking lot pollinator garden was made possible by a grant from the Faith T. Knapp Memorial Fund and Small Grants Fund of the Central New York Community Foundation.
