- Funds from any agency of the State of Maryland, or in-kind services, are not permitted. For example, a grant received from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority cannot be used as matching funds for your Talbot Arts application.
- Funds must be used as indicated in the application. Any proposed changes, including those of artist, date, time, or site, must be approved by Talbot Arts in advance.
- All activities supported by Talbot Arts grants must be open to the public and accessible to persons with disabilities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
