Dated: April 18, 2023

The Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) is currently accepting grant proposals from municipalities, businesses and organizations within Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties for its Public Art for Communities (PAFC) program.

Donor Name: Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP)

State: Michigan

Counties: Clinton County (MI), 

Type of Grant: Grant

Deadline: 05/31/2023

Size of the Grant: $10,000

Details:

Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) PAFC program, with additional support from the PNC Foundation, will award one grant of $10,000 to a municipality, business or community organization to commission, create and install a piece of public art for year-round, public display.

Arts and culture strategies help to enhance and celebrate the underlying identity of the physical and social space of a community. In this way, the community’s character can be expressed through the artistic activation of a place.

LEAP believes that public art installations positively impact their communities through:

  • Furthering their image and place into one of sophistication and creativity, exhibiting world-class arts and cultural opportunities,
  • Strategically and specifically positioning various forms of public art to spur economic growth and attract/retain business and talent, and
  • Institutionalizing policies and procedures on how arts and culture can be successfully implemented within a municipal body

The most successful applicant will identify a key, central, public location that is highly visible or recognizable to a significant and regular flow of foot and vehicle traffic. Beyond visibility, LEAP strives for the public to enjoy the art and feel that the placement greatly enhances the physical aesthetic of its location. Applicants should consider how the community will utilize, interact and feel ownership over the piece. The piece should be specific to the community and its residents.

Eligibility Criteria

  • The request for proposal is open to any municipality, business or organization located in Clinton, Eaton or Ingham counties.
  • Scoring of applications will be weighted toward LEAP community and business members.
  • Applications must be submitted by a representative of the community’s municipal body acting on behalf of the municipal body.
    • If an organization or business plans to apply, they must partner with and secure a letter of support from their municipal governing body. Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) ·
  • Applicants need to show the existence and/or adoption of a public art policy for their community. If not already in existence, the policy must be in progress at the time of the application and adopted by the time the award is made.
    • Two templates of public art policies are available
  • Art pieces must be created by an artist from Michigan and specifically the tri-county region, if possible.

Selection Criteria

Award selection will be based on the following criteria:

  • Does the community have a public art policy in place or in process? (If the answer is, “no”, the eligibility requirements have not been met.)
  • How engaged is the community in creating a sense of place for the region? (5 points)

  • Is the placement of the piece in a highly visible location? (5 points)
  • Does this project enhance visibility of underrepresented demographics? In other words, will the overall project advance the region’s sense of place through public art with a focus on expanding access to underserved communities? (5 points)
  • Did the applicant provide a complete and thorough submission? (5 points)
