Maine Arts Commission Grants
|
The Maine Arts Commission provides grant support for artists, school districts, community organizations and art institutions through a variety of specialized grant programs. The Maine Arts Commission draws on its state appropriation and federal funds through the National Endowment for the Arts, in addition to tapping into other public and private resources, to make awards across the entire state.
What’s special about 2003? During fiscal year 2003, the Maine Arts Commission continued its commitment to assisting people with disabilities in accessing the arts. A broad-based strategy, resulting in the Governor’s Awards for Arts Accessibility program, which, over a three-year period provided $150,000 for Maine’s largest arts institutions—a demographic that had not been well-served through other grant programs—to conduct critical physical and programmatic access planning. In addition, these awards, made throughout the state, recognized organizations that could lead by example in their communities. The Governor presented those awards at Blaine House (Governor’s mansion) luncheons, not only honoring the recipients but also underscoring his understanding of the need for accessible arts activities at the highest level and how accessibility plays a vital role in the creative economy of the state.
