The Visual Arts Committee of the Island Arts Council Announces
New Individual Visual Artist Grants Program
Deadline 6/1/08

An annual work grants program has been newly established. Grants of $500.00 each will be awarded each summer. The funds for these grants will be generated by the fall Open Studio Tour. The number of grants will vary from year to year depending on funds available from the tour.

Artists applying for the grants should have a dedicated need for the grant as part of either ongoing or ensuing work. This need could be as varied as research, documentation, equipment or materials, skills enhancement through workshops or studio upgrades.

Applying visual artists should produce original work, live on Whidbey Island, and not use the funds for work that accrues academic credit. Artists who serve on Island Arts Council or subcommittees, their partners (domestic, business, or family members) are not eligible for these grants while they are actively involved in the IAC in these capacities. Recipients will be asked to verify residence prior to grant awards.
