Applications are now available for the Haywood County Arts Council’s Grassroots subgrants. These grants are designed to support arts activities occurring through June 30. Nonprofit arts organizations or nonprofits planning an arts activity may apply. The applicant organization must be based in Haywood County and produce its programming in Haywood County.

Grassroots grants are matching grants that must be matched dollar-for-dollar by the receiving organization. Application is by letter describing the organization and the project, along with a budget for the project, and the signatures of parties responsible for the organization. Each first time applicant organization must discuss their proposal with Arts Council staff before completing the application.

An information session to introduce the program to new applicants is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25, at the Haywood County Arts Council’s gallery and offices.
