Grants Roundup: Deadlines for the Week of March 11
SCAC Deadlines and Coaching Opportunities
Though not the only way, grants are among the main ways the SCAC accomplishes its work.
Because of their importance to that, and what they mean to so many of you, The Hub wants to help keep Arts Commission grants top-of-mind and reduce the number of times we hear people say, "If only we'd known about (X or Y) grant!"
Enter the Grants Roundup! On Mondays*, "Grants Roundup" highlights:
- what grants are due that week, then what's due later (in increments) before
- providing a rundown on open grant opportunities and then
- upcoming grants coaching sessions.
Also, be on the lookout for our digest-style email to current grantees and S.C. Arts Directory artists on the first Monday* of every month from September to (roughly) May.
*The Roundup might run on Tuesdays when state holidays occur on a Monday.
