BLOOMINGTON ( 25News Now ) - The Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts is a finalist for a national grant that would help bring free concerts, but they need the community’s help.

The Levitt Foundation Music Series Grant would award BCPA $40,000 if the community helps vote them into the top 50. Right now, the center is one of 100 finalists in the running.

The voting window opens Sept. 5-15.

The Bloomington Arts and Entertainment Department, along with the non-profit Friends of the BCPA, applied for the grant, putting them in the top 100.

“If we can get within the top 50 contestants for this grant, then we will be the recipient of $40,000 a year over three years for a free Community concert series,” said the Bloomington Arts & Entertainment Marketing Manager, Joshua Maubach.
