GRANTS FOR ARTS PROJECTS
The ACPC may apply for National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) funds of up to $100,000 for subgranting. These Grants for Arts Projects are to support public engagement with, and access to, various forms of art across the nation, the creation of art, learning in the arts at all stages of life, and the integration of the arts into the fabric of community life.

If you have a project that might align with this, or are interested to learn more, please let us know! Contact us on or before January 4: Darci Frank, ACPC
