| THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN APPLYING FOR PENNSYLVANIA PARTNERS IN THE ARTS
PROJECT STREAM GRANT FUNDING THROUGH THE
LEHIGH VALLEY ARTS COUNCIL!
The Lehigh Valley Arts Council (LVAC) invites individual artists, along with arts organizations and community groups, to apply for up to $3,000 in Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA) 2008-09 Project Steam grant funding, which supports public arts projects or activities taking place in Carbon, Lehigh and Northampton counties. The PPA program, a partnership initiative of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA), is administered locally by the LVAC.
Eligibility of individual artists (over the age of eighteen) to apply for PPA Project Stream grant funding widens the circle of funding opportunities in support of arts activities and projects benefiting the Lehigh Valley. Applicants do not have to have non-profit status with the IRS, but cannot be for-profit. Projects must take place between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009.
Nearly 70% of applicants received funding last year, for a total of 28 awards. The average grant size was $1,309, up 26% from the previous year.
