ECRAC Resiliency Grant for Arts Organizations
About This Grant
The East Central Regional Arts Council (ECRAC) developed the Resiliency Grant to provide funding of up to $600 for artists and art organizations to do art projects online or in other forms during the current extraordinary circumstances of a pandemic and racial disparities.
Requirements
This grant is for artists and art organizations who have had projects cancelled, postponed, or affected by these circumstances. Projects may be in any form or discipline, including performance, dance, storytelling, photography, film, sculpture, painting, and more (see the ECRAC definition of art on page 4). Applicants must show that they can do the project without needing to violate any public health guidelines. Funding cannot be used for an already ECRAC-funded project. Your project must be completed, and grant funds spent, by June 30, 2024.
GRANT QUESTIONS
- What project was delayed or postponed or affected due to either the pandemic circumstances or due to racial disparities?
- What art project do you propose to do?
- What impact on the public do you think it will have?
- How will you know that you have been successful?
- How will you assure that public health guidelines are followed?
- Please explain how exactly you would spend the money.
We may contact you to ask additional questions.
Optional Questions: Is there anything else you would like to tell us about yourself or your proposed project?
