Individual Artists

All FY2011 grant guidelines will be posted in early February, 2010. Please stay tuned to our home page news box for information on our FY2011 grant offerings.

Thank you for your patience!

The State Arts Council offers grants and other opportunities to individual artists. Each opportunity requires an application or proposal, which must be competitively reviewed by a panel or committee.

• Artist Fellowship Awards – Provide cash awards and increased promotion to professional New Hampshire artists through an annual competition, which ranks examples of recent work by individual artists for artistic excellence.
  NEW! Due to reduced resources, each fiscal year the discipline focus of Artist Fellowships will rotate between literary arts, visual arts, and performing arts. In FY2011, two Artist Fellowship awards will be offered in literary arts.
• Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Grants – Support the preservation of traditional music, dance and crafts by supporting a master traditional artist to teach an experienced apprentice in one-to-one sessions.
• Traditional Arts & Folklife Listing – A listing of traditional artists, cultural specialists and folklorists skilled at presenting and demonstrating in public settings.
