Artists Grants & Fellowships
Learn more about our programs that support artists and creatives
If you engage in a creative practice, you are an artist.
Our definition of “artist” is broad and includes, but isn’t limited to, creative workers, visual artists, performers, writers, poets, music creators, culture bearers, makers, artisans, storytellers, social conveners, idea purveyors, imaginaries, visionaries, teaching artists, and organizers.
We provide a number of ways for artists and creatives to get involved with and get support from Mid-America Arts Alliance.
Programs, grants, career development opportunities, and peer networking are important to keeping artists in our communities engaged and thriving. Visit the pages below to examine our offerings for artists and creatives of all disciplines.
