GRANTS
The Artist Support Grant was created to provide direct support to individual artists during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative will fund professional and artistic development for emerging and established artists to enhance their skills and abilities to create work or to improve their business operations and capacity to bring their work to new audiences.
Artists representing visual, craft, performing, traditional, and interdisciplinary art forms are encouraged to apply. Applicants should demonstrate a commitment to spending a significant portion of their time on their work as artists. The Artist Support Grants will support projects from October 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021. Awards may range from $500-$1000. Applicants may receive full or partial funding.

The Arts Council of Wilmington & NHC is accepting applications for NC Arts Council Grassroots Arts Program subgrants through September 15, 2020. Funding priority is given to qualified arts organizations (theaters, galleries, choral societies, festivals), arts in education programs conducted by qualified artists, and other New Hanover County community organizations that provide arts programming.
Since 1977, the North Carolina Arts Council’s Grassroots Arts Program has provided North Carolina citizens access to quality arts experiences. Using a per capita based formula, the program provides funding for the arts in all 100 counties of the state through partnerships with local arts councils. The Arts Council of Wilmington is the NC Arts Council’s Designated County Partner and is supported by New Hanover County.
We are aware of the challenges posed by the pandemic and encourage arts organizations to apply for operating expenses if you’re unsure of your programming plans through June 30, 2021.
The Arts Council of Wilmington is hosting two Grassroots Arts Program Grant workshops via Zoom to assist interested applicants in preparing the grant. New applicants are strongly encouraged to attend.
