People Are Awesome: Grants available to support art, health and ‘Opportunities to Thrive’

Arts grant applications accepted

Applications are open for Mid-America Arts Alliance’s annual Artistic Innovations grant, a program that since 2012 has awarded more than $2 million to regional artists and creative organizations for the creation of new works of art.

Artistic Innovations encourages the spirit of experimentation and exploration, exclusively engaging in-region artists in the creation of new, original works for audiences in M-AAA’s six-state region of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Through support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Artistic Innovations offers up to $15,000 in matching support of expenses incurred in the art-making process and premiere of these endeavors.

The grant supports individual artists and nonprofit organizations in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas for projects that meet the eligibility requirements.

Applications for the next round of grant awards are due Feb. 23. For more information and requirements, visit maaa.org/artisticinnovations.
