Any individual artist or organization found to plagiarize other artists’ work or otherwise knowingly misrepresent themselves in any way on an application to Region 2 Arts Council will be ineligible to apply for any R2AC grants for one year to the day that Region 2 gives notice of having discovered misrepresentation on an application. Said application will be deemed ineligible and removed from the grant round. If the grant writer of the application is an authorizing official, executive committee member of the applicant organization, or the project director for the proposed activity, the grant writer will also be banned from applying to any Region 2 Arts Council grants for 12 months, including any individual artist grants. Any other applications this grant writer, organization, or individual artist has submitted in this grant round will be removed.
If it is discovered after grants have been awarded that an organization, individual artist, or grant writer has plagiarized or otherwise intentionally misrepresented themselves or an organization in any way on an awarded application, the award will be rescinded and the contract will be deemed null and void. If the grant writer is an authorizing official, executive committee member of the organization, or the project director for this grant, the grant writer along with the organization will similarly be banned from applying to any Region 2 Arts Council grants for 12 months, including any individual artist grants. Any other applications this grant writer, organization, or individual artist has submitted in this grant round will lose its award status.
