Quick Turnaround Grants

Quick Turnaround Grants are reviewed semiannually and are based on a fiscal year calendar (July 1 through June 30 of the following year). Proposed activities must take place within the timeframe of the current fiscal year.

Significant reductions to the state arts budget have led the Arts Commission to limit the types of grants offered for fiscal year 2011. Professional Development Grants are the only Quick Turnaround Grants available at this time.

Guidelines and Applications for fiscal year 2011 Professional Development Grants are posted below. Applications will be accepted by mail prior to each of the following deadlines: August 13, 2010 for activities or opportunities taking place between July 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010; and January 14, 2011 for activities or opportunities taking place between January 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011.
