Calling Artists!
The Arts Council of Hillsborough County is calling Hillsborough
County artists to apply for its 2012 Artist Grants. Grants of up
to $1000 each will be awarded. The deadline for applications
is Friday, Jan. 20, 2012.
The Individual Artist Grants
are awarded to experienced artists in the performing, visual,
literary, dance and music disciplines for projects that will
further the artist's professional development. Previous grantees
have used the award for artistic projects requiring film-making,
publishing, equipment purchases, workshops and other endeavors
that have taken their career or work to a higher level.
Applicants must demonstrate project relevance in their
applications.
Candidates must be accomplished creative artists at least 18
years of age and a legal resident of Hillsborough County for
24 consecutive months preceding the deadline. Students
pursuing any degree or fulltime faculty in higher education
are ineligible.
More information, applications and guidelines are online at
www.tampaarts.com or

submission to the Arts Council offices, 707 N. Franklin St.,
6th floor (Tampa Theatre office building) is 5:00 p.m.
Fri., Jan. 20, 2012.
The
Arts Council administers grant programs to the local arts
community for the Hillsborough Board of County
Commissioners, offering grants to cultural organizations and
individual artists. More than $600,000 has been awarded to
local artists since the program's inception in 1989 and
nearly $9 million in annual and special grants to cultural
organizations since 1991.
