ASC Provides Two Grant Opportunities and Free Information Sessions
The Arts & Science Council (ASC) is providing two grant opportunities to support broad-based arts, science, history or heritage projects/initiatives in Mecklenburg County. Non-profit organizations, based in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, can apply for up to $7,500 through the Cultural Access Grant or Cultural Project Grant programs. Funding will support cultural projects taking place between July 1, 2009 - June 15, 2010. The application deadline for both programs is Friday, March 20, 2009 at noon. For complete guidelines and the online application, visit www.artsandscience.org or call 704-333-2272.
Cultural Access grants are designed to promote arts and cultural equity and increase the cultural experiences of African American, Asian, Latino and Native American audiences and participants. Eligible non-profit organizations must have a primary mission of serving the African-American, Asian, Latino or Native American community OR must partner with an African-American, Asian, Latino or Native American artist or an organization whose primary mission is to serve one (or more) of these respective communities. Proposed programs must be based in African-American, Asian, Latino or Native American culture, occur in Mecklenburg County, and include arts, science, history or heritage. This program is only for projects that have not previously received funding through ASC.
