Artists Project Grant Program

Purpose:

The funding priority of the quarterly project grants program for artists is to support activities that advance the artistic development of Greenville County artists and ensembles. Grants are awarded to help underwrite actual project costs, not ordinary living expenses, and are intended to further the professional development of our region’s artists.

Eligibility Criteria:

Applicants must satisfy ALL eligibility requirements as follows:

• Be a practicing artist in dance, literature, media, theatre, or visual arts.
• Be at least 18 years old and not a matriculating student throughout the grant cycle.
• Be a permanent residence of Greenville County for a minimum of 6 months prior to the application deadline and during the grant period.
• Have the ability to match 1:1 any grant funds awarded.

Funding Range and Match:

Up to $1,500.00 and a 1:1 (Applicant to MAC) match per award. Artists who have outstanding MAC project activities or reports to complete are ineligible to apply for funds until all grant requirements have been completed and approved. No more than two grants may be awarded to an applicant within one fiscal year.

Deadlines:

Applications must be postmarked or delivered to the MAC office by 5 PM of the deadline date. If the deadline occurs on a holiday or weekend, the next business day becomes the default deadline date. No late, faxed or emailed applications may be accepted.
