The East Central Regional Arts Council (ECRAC) Essential Artist Award program (formerly known as the ECRAC/McKnight Fellowship Grant) is designed to recognize, reward, and encourage outstanding professional artists and culture bearers. The Council will fund artists and culture bearers at various stages in their professional careers. These Essential Artist Awards will allow artists and culture bearers to set aside time to work, purchase supplies and materials, undertake advanced study (not related to a degree) or to pursue other artistic career goals. The request for the Essential Artist Award is $9,000 and the program provides at least one Essential Artist Award annually.
