Arts Council Seeks Applications for Regional Artist Project Grants
Artists in Forsyth, Davie, Davidson, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin counties eligible
In-person information session scheduled
Winston-Salem, NC (January 27, 2020) — The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County is seeking applications for their Regional Artist Project Grants which offer support to artists in a six-county region to help them further their professional development. Committed, gifted individual artists and collaborative groups in Forsyth, Davie, Davidson, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin counties are eligible to apply. Deadline for applications is Sunday, March 1, 2020 at 11:59 p.m.
“We are looking for opportunities to make grants that support the careers of area artists at pivotal points in their professional lives. These grants always are diverse because the needs and disciplines of individual artists vary dramatically,” said Jordan Medley, Manager of Grants and Support Services for The Arts Council.
Guidelines, applications, and information sessions are available online at intothearts.org/applications-for-regional-artist-project-grants. In addition, Arts Council staff will hold an in-person information session on Tuesday, February 4 at 5:30 p.m in the Mountcastle Forum, Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts, 251 N. Spruce Street, Winston-Salem.
The grants are supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Last year, The Arts Council made a total of $24,500 in awards in this grant category to 12 individual artists, collaborations, or music groups.
