City of Phoenix offers support for local artists via ICE - Information Community Effectiveness. The following eNews from City Hall highlights "a new pilot grants program designed to assist individual artists living in Phoenix and working in all artistic disciplines." The focus is quite basic and low-level and low-cost - one could say negligible, in the big picture... $10,000 total... yet for individual artists this is a sign the city cares about their development and success. As NEO's Community Partnership for the Arts is now planning how to allocate $100,000s of dollars to artists, it is worth thinking so small with some of that money, to spread the wealth like in Phoenix... [1]
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture is pleased to announce a new pilot grants program designed to assist individual artists living in Phoenix and working in all artistic disciplines.
The Artist Career Development Grants program is designed to assist practicing, professional and emerging artists with specific professional development and skill building opportunities that advance their work and careers. Grant awards up to a maximum
