Each year, Ten at the Top awards two grants of up to $5,000 each to help fund public art, events, or beautification efforts that increase community vibrancy. These grants are made possible by a funding commitment from Phil Hughes, President of Hughes Investments, who sees the positive impact of arts, culture, and vibrancy within our communities.
