Description
Arts Entrepreneurship for Individual Artists is part of the West Virginia Department of Arts Culture and History’s arts grants program. Formerly known as Professional Development for Artists, it supports professional and emerging individual artists who want to expand or improve their work or share their expertise.
The program’s three stated purposes encompass both artistic development and knowledge sharing. Support is directed toward artists’ own work and expertise, with expansion and improvement identified as distinct goals alongside opportunities to share what they know. The program continues to use its former name, Professional Development for Artists, for its final report form.
