FY2008 Grants Awarded
Metro Arts makes grants to arts organizations annually to support the general operations as well as aid them in creating new art and programs. The application and review process involves the following: Each applicant organization provides a written narrative addressing excellence, community impact, learning experiences, administration, development and financial management. Citizen advisory panelists, appointed for their interest in and knowledge of the arts and business practices, are assigned to five grant panels: Basic Operating Support I, Basic Operating Support II, Basic Operating Support III, Neighborhood and Creation. The citizens on this year’s panels attended presentations by applicant organizations, held discussion sessions, rated and ranked the grant proposals and made preliminary funding recommendations to the Metro Arts Grants and Awards Committee. Lastly, the final recommendations were made to the full Commission and approved at the July 19 meeting.
