- Schools may apply for funds for innovative arts education projects.
- Organizations outside of Catawba County may apply if the proposed project takes place in Catawba County.
- Individual artists are not eligible to apply to Projects Pool. Grantees may contract with individual artists whose services fall within the scope of the project.
- Priority for funding is first given to qualified arts, science and history organizations including theaters, symphonies, galleries, art guilds, choral societies, dance companies, folk arts societies, writers groups, and arts festivals, among others. The second priority is for arts learning and arts-in-education programs conducted by qualified artists. The third priority includes community, civic, and municipal organizations that provide quality programs and experiences conducted by qualified artists for the greater community.
