[Michlib-l] Funding Opportunity through Arts Midwest

[Debbie Mikula]

Arts Midwest has just announced the following funding opportunity Grow, Invest, Gather (GIG) Fund for arts and cultural organizations including Libraries.

The GIG Fund provides $2,500 grants to presenting nonprofit organizations to host local or out-of-state touring artists for performances, exhibitions, and workshops. Applications are due by Monday, May 3, 2021.

Grants will support costs associated with engaging artists in community experiences as safely as possible given the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. Projects/activities should occur between July 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021.  Funds are intended for organizations to build their capacity by having multiple points of access to support presenting performing and visual artists of high artistic merit, virtually or in-person. Arts Midwest’s Grow, Invest, Gather (GIG) Fund provides financial support to arts organizations for rebuilding and re-imagining creative engagement in their communities amidst the challenging uncertainty affecting all corners of the creative sector.
