Are you an artist - of any genre? You can get up to $1,500 for projects benefiting your art.
Your first step is to figure out what you could do with the money that take you one step forward in your career as an artist or arts administrator. Just a FEW of the options: An artist might choose to create a performance, write a script, create new visual art, or study with a master artist. An administrator could attend a conference or class. Read the guidelines for more details, and if you're not sure, ask!

How it works:
Applying for a grant includes choosing a clear-cut project that will take place during the period of 2/1/09 - 1/31/10, writing about your project, making a list of the project expenses, and providing your resumé and other supporting documents (for artists, this includes work samples). Your application is read by a panel of community volunteers, who will score your application and then discuss it in a public panel meeting. If you are awarded a grant, you will accomplish the project during the period of 2/1/09 - 1/31/10, and write a final report.
To get started:
We encourage you to come to a workshop to learn about the program. Also, you should read the guidelines and application on our Web site. Make sure it's the current version (2009 guidelines, available end of September). Contact Mary at 407.628.0333 x32 or Mary@UnitedArts.cc with any questions.
