Art Grants
How can I be considered for a grant?
To be considered for a grant, an art project must:
Payment of art grants will be made by check in two equal installments. The first half at the time the award is accepted, and second after the conclusion of the project, a completed Leave No Trace for the project, and acceptance by NTXB of suitable receipts showing eligible project expenses. Each project must have a self-funded component and must operate independently of NTXB.
How much funding can my project get?
NTXB does not intend to award more than $599 to any project, but no completely developed proposal is too big or too small to be considered.
NTXB cannot award funds toward transportation costs for any art-project due to complex tax and legal concerns.
What are qualified expenses? What are not qualified expenses?
Qualified expenses include:
Unqualified expenses include:
When will I know if I am chosen for an Art Grant?
After submitting a completed Art Grant Application, project submissions will be judged one week or so after grants close. On average, it takes one more week to finalize paperwork and contact all artists.
When can I expect to receive the money?
All Art Grants are targeted to be disbursed in August. The responsible party will need to execute a written contract with NTXB on behalf of the project to receive an Art grant reward.
What steps do I take to apply for an Art Grant?
Art Grant registration is officially closed for Myschievia 2022. All projects have been voted upon and funding has been decided.
