Regional Artist Project Grant Applications Due Friday
Artists living in Watauga, Ashe, Alleghany and Wilkes counties are encouraged to submit grants applications for this year’s Regional Artist Project Grants. This year’s application deadline is this Friday, September 10.
The Regional Artist Project of Northwest North Carolina Grants Program is a partnership between the arts councils of Alleghany, Ashe, Watauga and Wilkes counties and the North Carolina Arts Council.
It is intended to provide project support to a broad range of visual, performing, literary and interdisciplinary artists that will have a significant impact on the advancement of their career.
Regional artist applicants are exceptionally talented individuals pursuing their career in the arts and have completed the basic education in their respective art form. The grants provide financial support to developing professionals by funding a project pivotal to the advancement of their careers as artists. Grant awards generally range from $200 to $1,000.
Applications and appropriate documentation material must be mailed or hand delivered to the Ashe County Arts Council in West Jefferson by September 10. However, grant applications will also be accepted in the Watauga County Arts Council offices at the Jones House Community Center in downtown Boone through Thursday, September 9.
Applications are available at www.watauga-arts.org, as well as on the websites of the partnering arts councils. Contact your county's arts council for more information.
