Arts Jobs Preservation Grant Deadline June 1
Posted 8 May 2009
The Iowa Arts Council
is reminding arts and presenting organizations that June 1, 2009, is
the application deadline for the Iowa Arts Jobs Preservation Grant
program.
The IAJPG program is designed to support the retention of
non-fundraising positions in Iowa arts organizations, as well as
retention or extension of artist contracts in arts presenting
organizations. The program does not support the engagement of personnel
for new projects. Approximately $320,000 will be directed to Iowa arts
and presenting organizations for one-time, non-matching grants up to
$25,000 each for projects occurring between July 1, 2009, and June 30,
2010.
The program is supported by American Recovery & Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) funding awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts to IAC
and Arts Midwest for re-granting to preserve arts jobs. Arts Midwest
serves nine Midwestern states and is partnering with IAC to distribute
a portion of its ARRA funds in Iowa.
Iowa arts and presenting organizations must have applications submitted
to the IAC office at the State Historical Building, 600 E. Locust
Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319 by 4:30 p.m. June 1, 2009. This is not a
postmark deadline.
Potential applicants are encouraged to register for one of two upcoming
free Webinars about the Iowa Arts Jobs Preservation Grant program:
* Friday, May 8, 2009, at 2 p.m.
* Tuesday, May 12, 2009, at 10 a.m.
To register, send an email with name and daytime phone number to Linda.Lee@iowa.gov. Instructions
for signing on to the Webinar will be emailed to registrants. Visit www.iowaartscouncil.org for
