Kentucky Arts Council Offers Grant Writing Workshops in Eight Kentucky Locations
FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Kentucky Arts Council will introduce artists, educators and representatives from arts organizations, non-profit community organizations, libraries, downtown development districts and local government agencies to the arts grants and programs available to increase arts participation in Kentucky. The three-hour workshops will be held on dates from October 29 through December 11, 2008, in Elkhorn City, Flemingsburg, Horse Cave, Owensboro, Paducah, Lexington, Covington and Louisville.
Attendees will learn about the details of the state arts agency's Arts Build Communities, Performing Arts on Tour, Folk Arts Project and Teacher Initiated Program grants. The sessions will include tips on writing effective applications, as well as a tutorial on how to navigate through the agency's online grant management system, Kentucky Arts Services OnLine (KASOL).
The workshops will also focus on the Kentucky Peer Advisory Network program and the resources and directories available to identify talented artists for projects and grants including performing, visual, craft, literary, media and teaching artists.
All workshops are free and open to the public, however pre-registration is required. Accessibility services for these workshops are available if noted on registration form. To register, go to: http://artscouncil.ky.gov/forms/WritingGrants_reg.htm
The Kentucky Arts Council is a state agency in the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet that creates opportunities for Kentuckians to value, participate in and benefit from the arts.
