McKnight/ARAC Individual Artist Support Grants

This program will have three deadlines in FY2010:

August 28, 2009
November 27, 2009
March 26, 2010

McKnight/ARAC Individual Artist Support Grant support and assist regional artists from all cultural backgrounds at various stages in their careers. This program encourages artistic development by assisting artists to take advantage of an impending, concrete opportunity and to nurture artistic creativity through an artist generated opportunity. This program also seeks to recognize the contributions individual artists make to the cultural environment of the Arrowhead Region. An impending, concrete opportunity must be a unique short-term opportunity that will have a significant impact on an artist’s career. This program is also designed to allow artists the time to work to achieve specific career goals by purchasing supplies and materials, participating in advanced study not related to a degree program, or pursuing other activities that will allow them to meet their artistic goals. An artist may request up to $3,000 per deadline.
