McKnight/ACHF/ARAC Career Development Grants
This program will have three deadlines in FY2011:
August 27, 2010
November 19, 2010
March 31, 2011
McKnight/ACHF//ARAC Career Development Grants 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.
These guidelines have been revised. Please read them thoroughly before writing your grant.
