| Regional Artist Project Grants Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County Seeking Applications
for Regional Artist Grants The Regional Artist Project Grant provides financial support to committed, gifted individual artists and small, unincorporated groups of collaborating artists. The grant is awarded to projects that promise to advance the career of the artist or groups of artists in the following disciplines: Music Composition, Film/Video, Literature/Playwriting, Choreography/Dance, and Visual Art/Craft. Guidelines and applications are available online at www.intothearts.org. “There are not many opportunities for artists to obtain assistance for something that relates directly to their career advancement. We urge artists in the six-county region to look at the guidelines to see if there is an opportunity here for them,” said Milton Rhodes, President and CEO of The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. The Regional Artist Project Grant is funded and administered by the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County and is supported by a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council. Information sessions will be held at the following locations for interested applicants. Thursday, May 13, 3:00-4:30 p.m. Stokes County Arts
