The Bank Midwest Community Fund awarded a $10,000 donation to The Grand Center for Arts and Culture in New Ulm, supporting the organization’s ongoing efforts to provide arts, entertainment and educational opportunities for the community.
Located in the historic Grand hotel building in downtown New Ulm, The Grand serves as a gathering place for people of all ages, offering live music, youth and adult arts education, gallery space and a variety of cultural programming throughout the year.
The Grand’s programming provides opportunities for community members to experience the arts while also creating a space where people can gather, learn, discover new interests and connect with one another.
“Places like The Grand add so much to the vibrancy of a community,” said Shannon Hillesheim, Regional President of Bank Midwest. “It gives people a place to experience live music and the arts, but it also provides opportunities for learning, creativity and connection. Supporting organizations like The Grand is an investment in the experiences and opportunities that help make New Ulm a great place to live, work and visit.”
The Grand also plays a role in bringing activity to downtown New Ulm, helping preserve and bring new life to a historic space while providing programming that attracts residents and visitors throughout the year.
