The State Arts Council has posted new grant guidelines for the new Arts in Health Care Project grant and an Online Artist Directory to its website with a January 18th deadline. Grant funding is being made available as part of a new Arts in Health Care Initiative that the State Arts Council has helped to develop region-wide with various partners. The grant's goal is to support programs that bring experienced professional artists to work with populations in health care and nursing home facilities around the state.
The Arts in Health Care Project grant supports participatory arts programs for caregivers, staff, hospital patients and residents in nursing homes, hospice settings, and rehabilitation centers. For more information about this grant plus a directory of professional artists who are experienced in working in health care and/or nursing home facilities, visit: www.nh.gov/nharts.
