Eligible Public Arts Projects
The proposed public arts project must:
- Have an arts or creative focus.
- Be presented live and in-person.
- Occur in Hudson County.
- It is strongly recommended that a portion of the grant be used to support artist fees, both for the applying artist and any other artists that support the project.
- Artists can choose to present at a venue or on their own.
- Projects must be documented with photographs or video taken during the project, required for final report, along with attendance numbers once the project is completed.
- Public arts projects do not need to feature new work; they can be restaging of preexisting works/shows/exhibitions.
- As long as the projects meet these criteria, grants can be used to supplement an already established project set to happen in Hudson County between July 1 to December 3, 2022.
Types of eligible public arts projects might include:
- A live music, dance, theatre or literary reading/performance.
- An in-person art-making workshop with community members.
- A live art-making experience, such as painting of a mural.
