A few years ago, the AET Committee developed a scoring system to help them evaluate events seeking funding. Events were scored from 1 to 5 on Local Purpose, Economic Impact, Other Funding, and Size of Audience. That system wasn't used this year. Instead, the committee seemed to make its decisions based primarily on what had been awarded in the previous year. Here is the list in alphabetical order:
- ArtsWalk requested $1,350 and will receive $1,000 (total budget: $4,900)
- Bangladeshi Festival requested $2,000 and will receive $1,700 (total budget: $6,000)
- Black Arts requested $3,000 and will receive $3,300 (total budget: $9,630)
- Chili, Cheese & Cider Fest (formerly the Chili Fest) did not request a specific amount; will receive $400 (total budget: $13,450)
- Community Block Party (presented by Promise Neighborhood) requested $1,000 and will receive $1,000 (total budget: $6,000)
