Thinking of applying for a grant? Now is a perfect time
Prepare for the upcoming grant deadline by attending an East Central Regional Arts Council Grant Information Session
Are you curious about the East Central Regional Arts Council (ECRAC) grant programs? Do you have questions about how to apply for a grant? Do you want to know if your art project is eligible for a grant? Join us for a grant info session and we can help answer questions like this and many more. The upcoming grant deadlines to apply are February 1, 2023, and April 1, 2023. If you are in Minnesota's Region 7E, the counties of Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs and Pine, art grant funds are available. Now is a great time to start thinking about applying.
ECRAC is offering grant information sessions in January, February and March for both artists and organizations.
These sessions cover basic information about ECRAC grant programs, as well as recent changes to the grant application processes. If you have already attended a grant information session in the past, a refresher is a great way to keep you up to date!
