Applications that are incomplete or submitted after the due date are considered ineligible for panel review and funding. Eligible applications are then evaluated by independent review panels mad e up of individuals from communities throughout the state who work in or a djacent to the arts. They evaluate each application on its own merits and solely on the basis of the published evaluation criteria.\nPanelists first review applications individually. They then meet as a body to discuss the applications and finalize assessment as a group. This meeting is open to the public and while applicants are not permitted to participate in the di scussion\, they are encouraged to attend or listen-in online. Applicants b eing reviewed will be notified when panel dates are set.

Arts Com mission staff will provide consultation to determine if your proposed fest ival activities warrant submitting an application.\nMy organization is eli gible for other Arts Commission grants. Can I apply to those too?\nNo. Acr oss grant programs\, the Arts Commission limits the number of applications that may be submitted by a given organization or unit of government to on e (1) application per funding period (July 1 – June 30 of the following ye ar). While an organization or unit of government may be eligible for more than one grant program\, they may only apply for one of them in a given fu nding period. As an example\, an applicant who applies to the Festivals Gr ant program in Fiscal Year 2024 may not apply for the Creative Capacity Gr ant program or a Youth Arts Engagement Grant that same year.\nWhat is mean t by “a thematic emphasis on arts and culture” regarding programming?\nWhi le eligible applicant organizations may not have an expressly arts and cul ture-focused mission\, eligible festival projects must include arts and cu lture programming as part of the festival’s main goals and objectives. Art s and culture programming must be centrally featured as part of your festi val’s activities and should not be peripheral add-ons to the festival’s ma in emphasis.\nWhat is meant by “In addition to ADA compliance” in the four th narrative question?\nApplicants are encouraged to consider how their fe stival activities and venue create accessible programming beyond baseline needs related to physical mobility. How are intellectual\, physical\, sens ory\, and neurodivergent/cognitive needs being addressed for attendees of all ability levels and how is this reflected in your festival’s structure? How are interpretation\, captioning\, and/or visual aid resources being p rovided? Accessibility considerations may also include bilingual/translati on services for printed materials\, emergency preparedness plans\, tactile resources\, and proper disability access symbols included in your festiva l’s marketing and publicity.\nMy festival utilizes a lot of in-kind volunt eer support. How should I reflect this in our budget?\nThe Arts Commission recognizes the significant role of volunteers at festival events. While y ou are not asked to itemize the dollar value of in-kind support in your bu dget\, you are encouraged to discuss in your Budget Narrative how any subs tantial in-kind volunteer support helps offset other expenses and contribu tes to the overall viability of your festival. There are a variety of esti mations regarding the dollar value of a volunteer work hour\, and the Arts Commission suggests a range of $20.00 to $30.00 per hour based on your fe stival’s need for personnel and the scope of volunteer work. Please contac t Arts Commission staff if you would like to further discuss how to accoun t for in-kind support.\nMy festival isn’t taking place until late in the f unding period and we are still in a planning phase. Can we still apply for a Festival Grant?\nYes. If you are still in a planning phase for your fes tival activities and do not have certain specific details finalized at the time you are submitting your application\, we advise that you offer insig ht as to how you are making your decisions\, what your options may be for a particular unknown\, and what your desired outcome(s) may be for items s till in development. Offering a high level of detail surrounding your orga nization’s planning and decision-making will at least help a panel underst and how your festival will likely come into existence even if certain logi stics and details are still in development.\n\n \nApplicant Res ources\n Applicant Information Sessions \nLeading up to the application due date\, the Arizona Commission on the A rts will present a webinar-style information session to help prospective a pplicants in preparing competitive applications.\nFriday\, March 8\, 2024 \n10:00 am – 11:00 am\n\n SMApply Guides \nHow do I register on behalf of an organization?\n\n\nGo to https://azarts.smapply.io/\nClick the “Register” button at the upper-right corner of the window.
