Eligibility Criteria
ACCE’s criteria for eligibility acknowledges that community emergencies rise out of historical institutional practices of discrimination that have disproportionately impacted BIPOC and lower-income communities. As our funding resources are limited, the following priorities will guide the allocation of grant dollars:
- Artists who have received Creative Response Funding in 2020 or 2021 are NOT eligible to apply for funding in 2022. In order to ensure that our limited resources benefit as many artists as possible, past Creative Response Fund grantees will not be eligible to receive funding for two years after the completion of their projects (e. g. If the end date of a grant award is August of 2022 you are not eligible to apply for a new grant until August of 2024).
- Non-profit organizations and non-arts groups are NOT eligible for this funding.
- All Minnesota resident artists are eligible with priority given to artists who either live in and/or work in one of the city’s 7 Council designated cultural districts.
- All project deliverables must be implemented within the city of Minneapolis.
- You may apply for General Support or Cultural District funding. If you choose Cultural District funding category, at least 50% of the project deliverables must be implemented in one or more of the city’s 7 Council designated cultural districts.
- They are seeking artists whose portfolio, work history and grounded experience includes working with communities that have historically experienced the stress and trauma of racial discrimination,
- Artists whose work centers around creative healing practices within marginalized communities.
- Artists with cultural competency and authentic connections to the communities most directly impacted and affected by the trauma, stress and violence caused as a result of continued police violence, and the inequities highlighted and exacerbated by the health pandemic.
