Dothan, Al. (WDNews) – Wiregrass Daily News met with Holly Myers of Art in Public Places to share exciting news for the Dothan community. The city has been named a finalist for a Levitt Foundation grant that would bring a three-year series of free outdoor concerts to the area.
Chosen from more than 300 applicants nationwide, Dothan now moves into the voting stage, which runs from September 5 through September 15. Supporters can vote by texting the word Dothan to 877-409-5525 or by visiting levitt.org.
If awarded, the grant will fund seven concerts each year at the city’s new outdoor amphitheater, set to open this fall. The lineup would span genres from gospel and R&B to blues, indie, bluegrass, and country, with both professional touring acts and local performers.
Myers emphasized that strong community participation is essential to securing the funding. The series would kick off in conjunction with the Loop Festival, adding live music to an already popular downtown tradition.
