Artists sought for creation grants

VERMONT - The Vermont Arts Council is now accepting applications for its annual creation grants.
Creation grants support the creation of new work by Vermont artists. Creation grants can fund time, materials, some equipment costs, and space rental for artists and artist groups. An independent panel of practicing artists and arts professionals will review the applications for this highly competitive program. Both established and emerging artists are encouraged to apply.
Examples of fundable projects are a multimedia artist creating a new video series, a writer completing the first draft of a novel, a dance ensemble developing choreography for a new piece, a visual artist creating art for exhibition that explores new subjects and techniques, and a musician composing music for a new album, among others.
The grant amount for this program is $4,000 per award. Applications are due by Monday, April 4.
Full details, the online application, and registration for the workshop are available at www.vermontartscouncil.org.
