Deadline: 07/15/2022

Details:
The Artist Corps in not just about receiving funding, it’s about building non-cash resources (such as connecting people across networks, identifying pipeline opportunities, and meeting more residents through the arts) in order to create a solid foundation for artists to be operationally sound and successful in seeing their art at the forefront of the community.
