Applications are now being taken for two categories of the Salina Arts & Humanities (SAH) Foundation's Horizons Grants program.
The Organizational Project Grants, along with the Lana Jordan Developing Artist Grants, are now open for application, with a deadline of Nov. 2, 2020, according to information from SAH. These grants support artistic growth through Saline County’s cultural and nonprofit organizations and practicing artists.
The Lana Jordan Developing Artist Grants (up to $2000, requiring a 1:2 match) are available to any visual, performing, literary and interdisciplinary artist who has demonstrated seriousness to an art form, but who has not yet firmly established a career as a full-time practicing artist. Artists living in Saline County for at least one year and who are 18 years or older are eligible to apply.
The purpose of the Lana Jordan Developing Artist Grant, according to SAH is to:
●foster the creation of new work
●promote artistic growth
●strengthen the ability of artists to build partnerships
●implement a public component to engage the community
Organizational Project Grants (up to $6,000, requiring a 1:1 match) provide support for projects that place the arts at the heart of community development, to build community through the arts.
The grant-application deadline is Nov. 2, 2020, in either category, for projects that will occur during the 2021 grant cycle (Feb. 1-Nov. 30, 2021.) All new applicants for the Developing Artist or Organizational Project grants must schedule a meeting with SAH staff no later than Sept. 21, 2020. All returning applicants must notify SAH staff by Oct. 5, 2020, of their intent to apply.
Additionally, Horizons Enrichment Grants (up to $500) are available on an ongoing basis, with applications submitted six weeks before the beginning of the proposed project. For budgetary reasons, Horizons Enrichment Grants will not be awarded Dec. 1, 2020, through Jan. 31, 2021.
