The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has announced the guidelines and application materials for Our Town, the agency’s program that supports communities that are using the arts to revitalize neighborhoods and reignite local economies. Grants will range from $25,000 to $200,000 and are available for applicants that involve two primary partners: a nonprofit organization and a local government entity. Projects may include arts engagement, cultural planning, and design activities.
Application deadline is January 14, 2013 at 11:59 pm. (This deadline is earlier than last year.)
Complete Our Town application guidelines are available at arts.gov/grants/apply/OurTown/index.html. Applicants can contact the NEA to schedule a call with an NEA design program specialist to address any questions. Please email millere@arts.gov.
