Last summer, Lubbock’s city council voted to reduce funding for the First Friday Art Trail from the Cultural Arts Grant Program. Now, one year later, the council was once again tasked with approving the grant recipients recommended by Civic Lubbock, Inc. KTTZ's Samantha Larned reports this year's funding was approved with a unanimous vote from the city council after some changes to grant guidelines, including a restriction on "controversial" issues.
