[Imc-artists] Call to Artists: Arts Grants Applications

[Nicole Pion]

Hello IMC artists,

The City of Urbana Public Arts Commission announces the launch of its Public
Arts Grants Program to support projects in the arts occurring in Urbana. The
Public Arts Grants Program will make funding available to artists, artist
teams, organizations, businesses, and festival presenters for eligible
projects that enrich the lives of Urbana residents and visitors.

Completed applications are due to the Community Development Services
Department by Monday, May 11th, 2009.  Applications are available
at:http://www.city.urbana.il.us/

If you are interested in applying, please let me know - some applications
request a letter or support from an organization. I'm also happy to read
over any ideas and proposals and give feedback.

The IMC will apply for funds for the IMC Film Fest under the Festivals
Grant.  Here is a lost of all the different grants:
