This week, we continue our celebration of Historic Preservation Month by highlighting several preservation incentives!
First up, the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) is a matching grants program that will reimburse up to 60% of the cost of an approved rehabilitation project on an historic property, in addition to other types of preservation projects. Funds come through the National Park Service and are administered for our state through the Tennessee Historical Commission. Properties with a public use are most often awarded these grants. A 40% local matching share is required, which is met by leveraging other non-federal funding or resources. Recent preservation grants for projects in Nashville and Davidson County include $25,000 to fund the restoration of historic stone steps at the National Register-listed Cheekwood Estate and Gardens property and $25,000 to fund a restoration study of the windows on the National Register-listed United States Post Office (now Frist Art Museum, pictured here). Under the HPF program, MHC received a $37,000 grant in 2021 to complete a survey of Davidson County’s historic cemeteries and create the state’s first county-level cemetery preservation plan! Applications will open in December 2022 for the FY23 round--check the THC preservation grants page for details on how to apply.

♡♡ Love needed in the air ♡♡
So we rewind to the third session of our collaboration with the Engine for Art, Democracy, and Justice and share their session on Love Transmutation where they focus on love as a path toward justice and democracy, beckoning through the processes of art which reframe perspectives, feelings, and reflections. As such, love is the engine for positive social change. It promotes healing of wounds and continuing health by refreshing the physical and emotional circuits that flow toward freedom. Assaults on black bodies are also assaults on the general body politic and on individual hearts and minds. Protecting justice and democracy we will summon the healing ministries of love generated by the engine of art. While public rhetoric portrays COVID-19 as a foreign invader, the virus itself is not an agent. It doesn’t invade us; we make decisions, or do not, through our human connections. With art, driven by love, we can adjust how these connections are made. This episode will look at the viral pandemic in terms of connectivity, migration, and how internal vulnerability manifests itself externally.
We are listening first to conversations with Lorenzo F. Candelaria, T Bone Burnett, Paul Kwami, Dina Bennett, Joseph Horowitz and Pauchi Sasaki, followed by an exchange with Susan H. Edwards, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, T. S. Harvey, Samar Ali, and Edward Fischer.
