R&D Grants Online Information Session
Sep 29 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Join the Arizona Commission on the Arts on Saturday, September 29, for a live-streamed web-conference on their newly renovated Research & Development Grant program.

R&D Grants provide up to $5,000 in funding support to Arizona artists as they work to advance their artistic practice, expand their creative horizons, and deepen the impact of their work.

2019 R&D Grant guidelines featuring full eligibility and application requirements are now available at https://azarts.gov/grant/artist-research-and-development/.

As the application and review process for R&D Grants have changed significantly this year, the Arts Commission invites artists of all experience levels and disciplines to participate in a statewide interactive conversation with Arts Commission staff and past grantees on crafting a successful R&D Grant application!
