The Springfield Area Arts Council announces the opening of its fiscal year 2019 COMMUNITY ARTS ACCESS re-granting program. Non-profit organizations in Sangamon and Menard counties are invited to apply for funding.
Guidelines and application materials will be available on the Arts Council website [http://springfieldartsco.org/community-arts-access/] on August 1st. The application deadline is August 31st. Application workshop will be held on August 7th at 10:30 A.M. and 5:30 P.M. in the Arts Council’s office at 420 South Sixth Street, Springfield. Contact Sheila Walk at 217-75-3519 or office@springfieldartsco.org for more information.
The Community Arts Access grants are given in conjunction with the Illinois Arts Council Agency. The grants provide the opportunity for local arts agencies like the Springfield Area Arts Council to distribute state funds in their own service areas according to local needs. The program is designed to give the community more access to the arts, especially among under-served populations.
The Springfield Area Arts Council, a 42-year-old local non-profit, enhances the quality of life in its geographic area and enriches the community through its performing and visual arts programs and events throughout the year. Its grant programs provide critically-needed funds to assist individuals and organizations in fulfilling their missions.
