Upcoming Workshops – Missouri Arts Council – Rolla, MO

Interested in receiving funding from the Missouri Arts Council?

We have the workshop for you! Learn how to navigate the Missouri Arts Council grant process by joining us this fall for the annual Grant Information Workshops.

These workshops are designed for new applicants or those who are in need of basic help with the Missouri Arts Council grant process. The workshop topics focus on both monthly and annual grant programs. While arts education grants are not specifically addressed, much of the general information applies.

FY2017 is from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. FY2017 is an on-year for these grant programs: Arts Education, Arts Services, Dance, Folk Arts, Minority Arts, Theater, and Visual Arts. The deadline for applications for annual grants for FY2017 is February 29, 2016.

Those who have previously applied and are familiar with the process do not need to attend.

Is there a cost?
No, this workshop is free. We do ask that attendees register using the links to the right to make sure there will be enough room for everyone.

Bring your Time Capsule items to workshop

At the workshop, Program Specialists Courtney Schlueter and Jill Williams will be happily accepting contributions for the Missouri Arts Council’s 50th anniversary time capsule. We are filling our capsule with Missouri arts documents, media, artworks, and artifacts. We’re looking for items ranging in dates from 1965, when Governor Warren E. Hearnes signed our enabling legislation, to 2015. We will seal the capsule in June 2016 after the summer Council board meeting – and the capsule won’t be opened until our 100th anniversary in 2066.

A few ideas: season brochures, literary magazines, best-of issues of newspapers, photos of arts events, arts festival souvenir t-shirts, posters. Anyone can participate, both organizations and individuals. If you bring an item, please fill out and include this form.
