Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga will host an Arts Build Communities application orientation workshop on Thursday at 4 p.m. at the Allied Arts office, 406 Frazier Ave.
The information session is for nonprofit organizations interested in collaborating on arts activities in Hamilton County.
ABC grant program is funded by the Tennessee General Assembly and administered by Allied Arts in cooperation with the Tennessee Arts Commission. ABC grants offer a total of $23,001 annually in financial support for arts projects in all arts disciplines.
“The value of these grants is enormous to Chattanooga and Hamilton County. We’re reaching deep into the community and reaching underserved organizations through the ABC grants,” said Marilyn J. Harrison, vice president of Allied Arts.
The grant orientation workshop will address eligibility, grant guidelines, examples of programming, and the grant application process. First-time applicants are strongly encouraged to attend. All organizations should then plan to meet with Ms. Harrison before submitting grant applications.
