[OMS_MANAGERS] Ltrs of Inquiry Due Dec 13 for ArtPlace America grant program

[Sheri Stuart]

Letter of Inquiry : 2014 Innovation Grants Program
Deadline: December 13
ArtPlace America invites Letters of Inquiry for our Innovation Grants
program from initiatives involving arts organizations, artists and
designers working in partnership with local and national partners on
place-based strategies that can transform communities.
The Innovation Grants program is designed to invest in creative
placemaking projects that reach for new possibilities and involve a
variety of partners who together are committed to increasing the
vibrancy and diversity of their communities. ArtPlace America sees its
role as providing venture funding in the form of grants—seeding
entrepreneurial projects that lead through the arts, already enjoy
strong local buy-in, integrate with a community’s economic development
and community revitalization strategies, and have the potential to
attract additional private and public support to the community. We want
to learn alongside those doing this groundbreaking work and spread the
lessons they are learning to other communities across the U.S.
Applications are encouraged from all 50 states and U.S. territories,
and ArtPlace America funds in communities across the country. Certain
ArtPlace America funders have a deep commitment to their local
communities and have provided funding for specific states or
communities.  Currently, these include: Akron, Charlotte, Detroit,
Macon, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, San Jose, and St. Paul, as
well as communities in Alaska, Arizona, California, Iowa, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington
and Wisconsin. Therefore, we particularly invite projects in these
areas, although applications are welcome and grants are awarded to
projects from all across the US. We continue to expand our funding with
the goal of supporting the broadest possible geographic array of
communities. Applications for performing arts and Native and folk arts
are also encouraged.
