The Wisconsin Arts Board seeks artists with project ideas for 2009 that involve collaborations with their Wisconsin communities. Submit project proposals to the Arts Board through the Artist & Community Collaborations (ACC) grant program. Submission deadline is October 15, 2008.
Lemon Street Gallery, 4601 Sheridan Road, will host an Artists’ Forum about this opportunity on Monday, September 8th at 5:00 PM and invites performing, visual, and literary artists of Kenosha, Racine, and surrounding areas to attend. Mark Fraire, Grants Specialist with Wisconsin Arts Board, will discuss the grant process and answer questions.
Lemon Street Gallery encourages all artists to attend this forum and apply for this grant. The Arts Board is particularly interested in applications from musicians, visual artists, and writers because these disciplines have been under-represented in past applicant pools.
Please RSVP to Melanie Hovey, Executive Director of Lemon Street Gallery, at (262) 605-4745 or at lemonstreetgallery@hotmail.com.

The ACC grant is relatively straight-forward, and can be written for $1000 to $5000. If you have been thinking about an arts project that involves community members, this is definately worth looking into.
Is this just for Wisconsin artists? Or can any artist apply for the grant and work within a Wisconsin community?
this is awesome. exactul what the artist as an individual needs, and what the communit needs. The two are usually one but the funds are neccesary. ITs good to see this grant is going to be availalbe. My brain is allready whirling with ideas.
