Art for People | Grant Information | Grant Application

In 2009 there are two grants of $500.00 available.

1. KATIA Art for People Projects Grant:

Applicants must be KATI students or graduates, and members of KATI.

2. World Art for People Projects Grant:

Open to all applicants (you do not need to be a KATI student or graduate) involved in projects using the arts to promote individual and community well-being.

These grants are intended to support creative community projects and to support groups or individuals doing grassroots community work from a not-for-profit base. Any project attempting to promote individual and community well-being through the creative expressive arts will be considered.

Other criteria that will be considered are:

• Projects that are planned with other community partners;
• Cultural sensitivity to the communities' needs;
• Projects that lay the groundwork for the potential of continued programming;
• Creativity in breadth and depth;
• Initiatives that incorporate art/craft making into establishing a marketable product for individuals and communities to achieve more sustainability;
• Contributions to social change and justice through bringing art therapy to the global community.

Please note that grant money is preferably put toward art and program supplies, and programming costs, rather than for wages.

Grant application process:

Applications will be reviewed by the Art for People Projects Committee.
