• Applicants must be a permanent resident of the region (e.g., have resided for a minimum of twelve (12) months prior to the deadline) of one the following counties: Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Rutherford or York (SC).
• Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and must be a US citizen or permanent resident.
• Eligible applicants and recipients may not enroll in, or be currently enrolled in, an undergraduate or graduate degree-granting program during the time their funded project is in progress.

Please note: Artists on the staff of one of the participating arts councils OR artists who received a Regional Artist Project Grant within the last three calendar years (2008 and later) are not eligible to apply.

Maximum Grant Amount: Established artists can apply for a maximum of $5,000.  Emerging artists can apply for a maximum of $3,000. Click here for guidelines to determine if you are an emerging or established artist.
