Grants To Individuals

 
 
United Arts supports individual artists through a regional program designed to help advance the recipients’ artistic careers by awarding grants for professional development workshops and conferences, equipment, marketing materials and more. These grants are competitive.
 

Regional Artist Project Grants

 
This collaborative program for individual artists began in 1996, under the auspices of the North Carolina Arts Council and in collaboration with arts councils in a five-county region. Artists residing in Franklin, Johnston, Wake, Warren and Vance counties are eligible to apply for grants to further their artistic careers.
 

United Arts Council of Raleigh & Wake County awarded $21,911 to 20 artists through the 2006-2007 Regional Artist Project Grant Program. For 2007-2008, we awarded $25,004 to 23 artists.
