This program, funded by the N.C. Arts Council, provides the opportunity for local arts councils to award project grants to artists in their regions.
These grants support professional artists in any discipline and at any stage in their careers to pursue projects that further their artistic and professional development. Formerly known as ‘Regional Artist Project Grants,’ this grant allows artists to bill for their time on the budget.
Types of fundable projects include:
- Creation of new work
- Purchase of equipment and materials
- Professional development workshops
- Travel support for expenses associated with a professional opportunity such as participating in an exhibition or a conference
- Development or upgrading of promotional materials such as brochures, DVDs, CDs, and websites
Deadline to apply: September 30, 2021.
Grant amounts vary from region to region. Statewide, they range from $300 to $5,000, though most grants are between $500 and $2,000. Projects must be completed by December 31, 2022. Artists in all disciplines are eligible to apply. Artists who have applied and also received past ASG grants may apply. Artists who have already received grants from the North Carolina Arts Council in the current application year (2021-2022) are not eligible.
Grants for our region are administered by the Toe River Arts Council. If you are an artist living in Madison County, you can find detailed information at www.toeriverarts.org/artists/artist-opportunities/artist-support-grants.
Attend a Zoom workshop scheduled for this grant on Tuesday, August 17, 2021 from 2-3pm (Zoom Link)
