Cedar City Arts Council mini-grant applications due
By Shaylene Baruffi-Jensen
The Cedar City Arts Council encourages individual artists and arts organizations to apply for the mini-grants, due Feb. 28.
Past projects have included funding for an easel for a local artist, financial support for musical instrument, music for a children’s choir, poetry publication fees, registration for an art teacher’s art workshop, money to help non-RAP groups pay for a venue rental, promotion expenses, and many more wonderful projects. The Cedar City Arts Council works to promote and support local art, artists, and arts organizations.
Mini-grant funds may be used for multiple purposes. Past awards have been used to purchase supplies or equipment and rent displays or performance venues. Funding may be applied to support mileage or registration costs to attend educational conferences or training sessions, purchase promotional advertising, or other needs as revealed in the grant application. Our goal is to broaden our cultural landscape through unusual, unique, and innovative ideas, events, and projects. We appreciate ideas that have a positive connection to the community and a demonstrable benefit to the public.
It is beneficial to include samples of previous work with the application. The Cedar City Arts Council Grants Committee reviews the applications and offers several grants every cycle. Members of the Cedar City Arts Council help fund this project with their memberships to increase the artist offerings of our area.
Membership information is available at cedarcityartscouncil.org/support/membership. We now provide the opportunity to become a sustaining mini-grant sponsor. We offer five different levels of sponsorship that range anywhere from a one-time giving of $50–$250 to sustaining sponsorships of $100–$1,000 annually. When you become a sustaining mini-grant sponsor, grant recipients will be required to acknowledge your contributions, and your business will be regularly acknowledged in the arts council’s monthly newsletter. The grant application and more information is available at cedarcityartscouncil.org/support/quick-grants.
