| Grants! Think of the potential ... then apply. |
 Grants support a whole variety of arts activities in our area. The Northwest Minnesota Arts Council has many grant deadlines coming up!
Individual artists can apply for a fellowship grant right now for $1,200.00. Musicians, dancers, actors, painters, poets, etc... can all think of applying by July 15, 2010.
Our new Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund grant is due August 1, 2010 and again September 1, 2010. The September deadline will have a portion reserved for funding public art projects. Grants are available with just a 10% cash match requirement. Maximum grant amounts are still being determined for this next cycle.
August 1, 2010 is our next deadline for both Arts Project Grants and Artists in the Schools grants. Grants of up to $3,000.00 with a 10% cash match. School districts can sponsor artist residencies and/or summer arts experiences for kids. Non-profit arts organizations can produce and sponsor a variety of programming.
More grant related announcements, previously awarded grant lists, and grant applications are available on our website. Our grants serve the Minnesota counties of Kittson, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau. Grants>>> |
| Poets and Writers of Northwest Minnesota Book |
| This next fall, our Arts Council is interested in compiling together poetry and short stories from our regional writers to be printed, hopefully in January 2011. Right now we are looking for a focus group of people who are interested in developing and fine tuning this project. We would like to set up a meeting for later in July.
Please contact our office if you are interested in helping with this endeavor. Call Mara at 218-745-9111 to discuss. There will be a few contracts for services issued related to layout design and editing for this first edition. A RFP will be issued shortly. |
