NEA ARP Grants, Webinar

The NEA just announced American Rescue Plan (ARP) Direct Grants to Arts and Culture Organizations Guidelines  Application Deadline is Thursday, 8/12. Approximately $60 million will be available for grant amounts of $50,000, $100,00, or $150,000.  Register here for a free Americans for the Arts ArtsU Webinar on Tuesday, 7/6, 3pm to learn more about the specific guidelines.

Art-Train ARP 1-pager

Springboard for the Arts has designed a pdf to aid in advocacy and awareness as you reach out for funding and community building support. Much ARP funding is directed to local governments and ARP fund deciders who may not have arts & culture on their radar as a successful strategy/allowable use of recovery funds – nor are they likely to take a training. You might send it directly, and/or include it with other materials you might be preparing. Link to PDF
