Description
The Small Creative and Performing Arts Grant, administered by the Franco Institute within the College of Arts & Letters at the University of Notre Dame, is designed to support faculty-led projects that advance innovation and experimentation in the creative and performing arts. The program welcomes proposals across all artistic mediums, including visual arts, music, literature, performance, digital media, and interdisciplinary arts. Its primary aim is to catalyze high-impact, small-scale initiatives that may not fit within larger or external funding streams, strengthening the campus arts culture and encouraging new methods and forms of artistic expression. Projects should demonstrate strong artistic and intellectual merit, clear execution plans, and meaningful engagement with audiences or communities.
