The Arizona Commission on the Arts will be hosting a series of artist grant information sessions and grantwriting workshops throughout the coming weeks.
At these sessions, we’ll discuss eligibility and application requirements for Artist Research and Development Grants (ARDG) and Professional Development Grants (PDG), suggest opportunity discovery resources for artists and lead an interactive workshop on how to write a successful ARDG proposal. More sessions may be added. Stay tuned for updates.
Update:Â Due to storm-related power outages in Downtown Phoenix, the information session scheduled for September 1 at Black Theatre Troupe has been rescheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2015.
