Subsídios de Apoio a Artistas do Conselho de Artes da Carolina do Norte

North Carolina Arts Council (NCAC) administers the Artist Support Grants program, a collaborative initiative that partners with regional consortia of local arts councils to award project grants to professional artists across all disciplines. The program is open to artists at any career stage who are based in North Carolina and are seeking to pursue projects that further their artistic and professional development. Eligible projects include the creation of new work, purchase of equipment and materials, professional development workshops, travel support for participation in exhibitions or conferences, and the development or upgrading of promotional materials such as brochures, DVDs, CDs, and websites. Artist fees are also allowable expenses under the program.

Projects must be completed by December 31, 2026, and grant amounts vary by region, ranging from $500 to $3,000. Each regional consortium sets its own application deadline, with the latest deadline falling on October 15, 2026. Applicants must contact the designated local arts council and primary contact listed for their region to receive application instructions and any additional requirements. The application process is free of charge, and no application fee is required.

The NCAC provides funding to support the full scope of the project, including equipment, materials, professional development, travel, and promotional materials. While the program does not provide housing, it does offer travel support for professional opportunities. The program is recurring, with a new cycle expected each year, and the current cycle is open until the regional deadlines listed above.
