Artists’ mini grants available

Ink People Center for the Arts and Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness announce a series of mini-grants for artists from Funds for Artists' Resilience. The grants are made possible through the generosity of the Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Foundation.

In Del Norte county, previous FAR recipients created public art such as a mural showcasing indigenous foods and symbols and an art exhibit featuring the works with the theme “resilience” for Domestic Violence Awareness month.

Grants can be awarded to individual artists for projects including, but not limited to:

Public performance/concert

Offering a lecture/workshop, either in person or via Zoom

Attending a lecture or training

Funding an artists' collective retreat/training

Art materials

A total of $8,500 in funds is available, divided into 20 grants of $300 each, and five grants of $500 each. Submissions deadline is March 25. Interested artists can apply at inkpeopleinc.submittable.com/submit.

Proposal assessment and funding decisions will be made by a committee composed of community stakeholders and staff from Ink People and DNACA.

Successful applicants will be required to submit a photo and a brief statement regarding their use of grant funds by October 15.
