Leveraging Investments in Creativity (LINC)
Launches a New Cycle of ARTOGRAPHY:  Arts in a Changing America

ARTOGRAPHY is a grant opportunity designed to establish a deeper understanding of how artistic practice reflects the impact that changing populations, cultures, and aesthetics in the United States will have on the future of art-making. This program recognizes arts organizations with exemplary art-making practices and provides support for documenting the ways in which they respond to and reflect the communities they serve. 

This national, competitive grantmaking and documentation program provides grants of up to $100,000 over two years for general operating expenses to a select number of organizations. Additionally, grantees are eligible to apply for funds to support a range of activities that are of strategic value to the organization.  ARTOGRAPHY aims to emphasize the various aspects of documentation that capture lessons and reveal greater appreciation for the national field of arts. 

Applicants are encouraged to submit preliminary proposals online at www.artsinachangingamerica.net.  Proposals are due to LINC by January 30, 2009.

Please look for FAQs and additional information on ARTOGRAPHY’s website beginning November 18, 2008.

ARTOGRAPHY is offered by LINC with funding from the Ford Foundation. LINC is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to enhance the capacity of artists to create work, build social capital, and contribute to democratic values.
