Criteria

- Eligible artists must be individual artists (or small, unincorporated group of collaborating artists), not enrolled in a degree or certificate program, at least 18 year old, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien, and reside (for at least 1 year) in Anson, Montgomery, Moore, Richmond, Stanly, or Union counties.
- All ASG applications are evaluated by a panel consisting of discipline-based artists and arts professionals not associated with any Region 12 partner. The grant awards are based on the artist’s overall excellence and talent in their art form and how the proposed project will benefit the artist’s professional growth.
- Types of fundable projects include the creation of new work, purchase of equipment and materials, and professional development workshops.
