The Region 2 Arts Council will offer free grant writing workshops for any Native American artists interested in applying for an Anishinaabe Arts Initiative for Individual Artists grant within the Region 2 area (serving Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Lake of the Woods and Mahnomen counties). These workshops will familiarize potential applicants with the application process, what projects are eligible, how to develop a project budget and other tips.
The Anishinaabe Arts Initiative Grant for Individual Artists is open to individual Native American artists in all disciplines. These grants offer funding for costs associated with the exhibition, performance, or production of a creative work; purchase of materials or equipment necessary for a creative work; educational opportunities; mentorships; and proposals for career-enhancing projects or opportunities. Artists can apply for grants up to $1,000.
