OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
AUGUST 28, 2025—THE PRINCETON ART COLLECTIVE (PARC) is now in the running to bring a free outdoor music series to PRINCETON, WISCONSIN starting in 2026
With funding from the Levitt Foundation—a national social impact funder at the intersection of music, public space, and community building that supports the largest free outdoor concert series in America—PARC hopes to qualify as a finalist to receive a Levitt Music Series Grant. The public is urged to support PARC’s proposal by participating in the public voting process, via online or text to vote, taking place from September 5-15, 2025, at levitt.org/vote.
Levitt Music Series Grants are an exciting, multi-year matching grant created by the Levitt Foundation to bring the joy of free outdoor concerts to towns and cities across the country. For the 2026–2028 grant cycle, the Levitt Foundation will award U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits up to $120,000 over three years (up to $40,000 per year), to produce their own Levitt Music Series—7-10 free outdoor concerts annually featuring a diverse lineup of music genres with professional musicians, activating an underused public space, creating a vibrant, inclusive community destination for people of all ages and backgrounds.
PARC submitted the proposal for PRINCETON, WISCONSIN to present the free music series ON THE RIVERFRONT. PRINCETON’s proposal is now posted on the Levitt Foundation website, where the public can vote and learn more about the proposals from across the country that have advanced to the voting phase. An individual may submit one vote for up to five proposals of their choosing. There are two easy ways for the public to cast their vote: online at levitt.org/vote or via text to 877-409-5525 with keyword PARCDEPT.
Reflecting the Levitt Foundation’s mission that all Levitt projects are community-driven, the public voting phase of the Levitt Music Series Grants selection process is an important way to measure community support. The number of online and text votes received for PARC will be one of the key factors used when the Levitt Foundation determines the grant recipients this November.
Online public voting opens September 5, at 10:00 a.m. PT and ends September 15, at 5:00 p.m. PT. The 50 finalists will be selected through the online and text-to-vote public voting phase. The Levitt Foundation will then review the top proposals to select the Levitt Music Series Grants recipients, which will be announced on November 18, 2025.
PARC asks supporters to spread the word throughout the community to family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors and rally the community to vote for PRINCETON’s proposal.
