Creative Support Grant
The Creative Support Grant is an unrestricted grant for individual artists to support the expansion and innovation of quality artistic work. The Jackson Arts Council acknowledges the steps involved to advance an artist’s vision, practice, and artistic accomplishments.
The Creative Support grant program enables the Jackson Arts Council to demonstrate the value of artists’ work in our county by supporting working artists in their artistic practice. This program contributes to the vitality of our artistic community and helps Jackson attract and retain creatives invested in our community. Through this program, we honor the work of seasoned artist, advance the work of mid-career artists, and nurture the work of emerging artists.
In FY25, 6 grants of $1,500 each will be awarded. The Jackson Arts Council will strive for proportionate distribution of grant awards to the number of applicants in each discipline and proportionate distribution based on artists’ career stages. Grant recipients will receive a 1099 tax form to report this taxable income.
Eligible applicants may apply between August 12th, 2024 - September 20th, 2024.
