Grant Program For Individual Artists!

Two artists have received individual grant awards. One artist grant was for writing and the other grant was awarded for poetry.

The local organization that sponsors this grant program supports the professional development of individual artists in a local five-county region of one state.

Review criteria include merit and artistic quality, ability of the applicant to successfully carry out the project, and the need for the project.

Individual grants of up to $2,000 are available to artists at least 18 years of age working in the visual, literary or performing arts.

Information about the individual artist grant program and application forms can be found at the organization's website or by calling them by phone.

The deadline for the next grant round is May 15, 2010!
