The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) has announced the Project Grants for Individuals (PGI) Grant Program to artist instigated and organized arts projects with a strong public component.
Through PGI, RISCA supports highly creative and talented artists who seek to create, produce, perform, teach, or share their work with the public. Projects might include the coordination and/or creation of: community arts events, public performances, arts workshops and classes, public visual art, and creative collaborations.
These grants are for individuals creating work outside of nonprofit or other institutional support and structures. These grants are not for individuals looking to support their studio practice, but for projects that directly engage Rhode Island residents in some way.
Funding Information
The maximum grant award in this category is $3,000.
