I’m pleased to have been selected as a North Carolina Arts Council Artist Support Grant award recipient!
The Artist Support Grant program is designed to support professional and artistic development through a partnership of the North Carolina Arts Council and Asheville Area Arts Council, Haywood County Arts Council, Arts Council of Henderson County, Tryon Fine Arts Center, Rutherford County Recreation, Cultural, and Heritage Commission, and the Transylvania Community Arts Council.
The Artist Support Grant is a program of and supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural & Cultural Resources. It is awarded to qualifying individual artists living in Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Polk, Rutherford, and Transylvania Counties and funded by the North Carolina Arts Council.
Awarded artists were selected in a competitive scoring process by a panel of professionals representing counties in the consortium and specific mediums. This year, with 129 applicants, requests totaled more than $137,039, and the panel was able to award $30,088 in grant funds to 32 artists.
