Description
The Arts in Arkansas Fund, administered by Arkansas Community Foundation, provides general operating support to small arts nonprofits across the state. It supports organizations working to maintain vital arts programming, expand existing offerings, or introduce programming that would otherwise be inaccessible or limited for their target audiences.
Priority consideration goes to organizations serving underserved communities with limited access or exposure to arts programming. Supported disciplines include dance, music, theatre, 2D and 3D visual art, film and media, and multidisciplinary work. Organizations working in other generally accepted arts disciplines may describe their focus in the application for the committee to determine qualification. Selection considers both the need for operating support and geographic representation across Arkansas.
