Past projects the council has supported include the Tarfest music and art festival on the Miracle Mile, a ceramic tile project saluting graduates of Hancock Park Elementary School, and a hydroponic system at Carthay Circle Elementary School. Members of the Mid City West Neighborhood Purposes Grant Committee recently presented a grant to Mark Harelik, of Friends of Hancock Park Elementary, at its September board meeting.

Applications for the grants can be submitted until Nov. 3, and awardees will be announced in January. For information, visit midcitywest.org.
