Proposed changes to the agency’s Artist Research and Development Grant policies were presented. The committee recommended three amendments to the proposed changes (described in the meeting minutes). A motion was made by Ruben Alvarez to approve the policy manual updates, amended to include the Committee’s recommendations, seconded by Ben Baer, and unanimously approved.
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!
