The Arts Link to Tourism and the Economy Grants are accepted annually through our standard grantmaking process. The program aims to support projects that promote a community’s artistic resources through economic development and cultural tourism strategies. The Commission plans to award up to 6 grants of up to $10,000 each to ethnic-run or rural arts organizations or tribal communities for substantial projects. Collaborative projects between rural economic development or tourism organizations, ethnic arts organizations, rural arts organizations and/or tribal communities in Arizona are especially encouraged.

The Letter of Intent must highlight each of these points.  Please note, these questions will be asked of you again in your official EGOR application.  This page will not be available after March 1, 2007.
