What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Mission Support Grants
Through competitive grant programs, ArtsGreensboro invests in high-quality arts experiences that further its strategic priorities. Funded by foundations, corporations, and individual donors, Mission Support Grants are intended to support:
• The creation and/or presentation of programming with high artistic merit that demonstrates defined and measurable outcomes, including impact on the community.
• Programs that increase access to the arts, engage the community and enrich the varied cultural vitality of Greater Greensboro.
• Arts education experiences that inspire and engage students (including life-long learning), enhance curriculum and result in increased knowledge and skills in the arts.
Teacher Art Grants
Teacher Art Grants are designed to enhance and strengthen the use of the arts to teach core curriculum, to broaden programs offered for K-12 students and to encourage collaboration between artists, arts organizations and schools; emphasize learning in, through and about the arts and teacher professional development. Grants are accepted from a school's teachers, parents or staff.
Artist Support Grants
Artists in all disciplines are eligible to apply for grants to support their professional and artistic development through a partnership with ArtsGreensboro and the North Carolina Arts Council and Arts Davidson County, Davie County Arts Council, the Arts Council of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County, and Randolph Arts Guild.
Project Support Grants
Project Support Grants are intended to support:
*The creation and/or presentation of programming with high artistic merit—including visual arts, music, dance, theatre, and other performance, instructional and/or creative arts programs or art forms.
*Programs with high artistic merit that demonstrate defined and measurable outcomes, including impact on the community.
*Programs that increase access to the arts, engage the community, and enrich the varied cultural vitality of Greater Greensboro.
*Arts education experiences that inspire and engage students (including life-long learning), enhance curriculum, and result in increased knowledge and skills in the arts.
Project Support is a competitive single-year grant program for arts organizations. It invests in arts experiences of high artistic merit that further one or more of the ArtsGreensboro’s strategic priorities (Access, Economic Vitality, Arts Education). Applicants must show how the project will engage and impact the community. The Project Support Grant program is funded in part by the North Carolina Arts Council’s Grassroots Program and by the generosity of foundations, corporations, and individual donors through the ArtsGreensboro’s annual Arts Fund campaign.
