Strategic Investment Grants (SIG) provide up to $1000 for expenses related to opportunities for professional development, market expansion, and art events. SIG enables artists and teachers to advance their professional careers and supports nonprofit organizations in the advancement of arts-related programs.
SIG supports a wide variety of arts-related activities and opportunities:
Applications are due on the 15th of each month by 11:59 p.m. If the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline will be the next business day. Applications must be submitted electronically via the online grant system. Applications submitted by the deadline will be reviewed the following month.
