The regional artist program awards grants  ($200 - $1500) to local emerging and professional artists in all disciplines who are in need of financial support to pursue projects beneficial to their development as professional artists.  

Previously funded projects have included attendance at professional development workshops and conferences, purchase of art equipment to aid in the production of artwork, production of new works and production of promotional materials, such as a portfolio or demo tape. 

Grants are made possible through a five-county partnership including:  Franklin,  Vance, Warren ,Wake, and Johnston in collaboration with the North Carolina Arts Council.

Application forms will be available late June, and are due mid- September.
