Grants of up to $2,000 to USA nonprofit organizations and government agencies in multiple states for arts programming in rural communities. Funding is intended for activities featuring artists in the fields of film, performing arts, literary arts, and visual arts.
To be eligible for funding, applicants must program arts experiences featuring an out-of-state Southern artist. Express Grants can be used to support fees for presenting Southern guest film directors, visual and performing artists, or writers from outside of the presenter’s state. Touring support is awarded for film (documentary, fiction, and animation), performing arts (theater, music, opera, musical theater, and dance), literary arts (fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry), and visual arts (crafts, drawing, experimental, painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media). Projects must include both a public presentation (film screening, performance, reading, or exhibition) and an educational component.
The Kentucky League of Cities serves as the united voice of cities by supporting community innovation, effective leadership and quality governance.
