The Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council (GO ART!) has announced the applications for Ripple Grant Program to support local, artist-initiated activity, and highlights the role of artists as important members of the community.
The Commission is for artistic projects with outstanding artistic merit that work within a community setting. Up to four grants will be awarded per County. These grants are intended to engage artists creating new, original work, like composers, writers, and visual artists. Artists at various career stages are welcome to apply.

The project should involve a segment of the community through some sort of feedback, response, interaction (such as a showing, exhibition, public performance, etc.), and/or social practice.
