Grants Roundup: Deadlines for the Week of Nov. 23
SCAC Deadlines and Coaching Opportunities
Though far from the only thing, grants are among the main things we do here. Because of their importance in our work, 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 people say, "If only we'd known about (X or Y) grant!"
We can't reach everybody, but we can try. On Mondays* with deadlines on the horizon, "Grants Roundup" highlights first what grants are due that week and then includes what's coming later in increments.
*The Roundup might run on Tuesdays when state holidays occur on a Monday.
Ed. note: Last Friday our team made the guidelines live for Accessibility and Arts Project Support grants. These categories were previously suspended to allow our staff the ability to provide constituents with pandemic-related coaching and assistance. Links to these categories are listed below.
This week
These are to serve mainly as final reminders to finish in-progress applications. Most grant applications simply cannot be undertaken well in this short a time frame. Consult an appropriate member of our team with questions.

South Arts names two from S.C. to Emerging Leaders of Color program
The Hub helped promote South Arts' Emerging Leaders of Color opportunity
once,
twice, or
three times, so it's only right that we let you know how it all shook out. Two leaders from South Carolina were named to the cohort:
Melanie Colclough of Sumter (executive director of Patriot Hall/Sumter County Cultural Center) and
Jemimah Ekeh of Columbia (freelance designer + administrator with One Columbia for Arts & Culture). There is
more about the program and see who was accepted from other states right here.
State's arts community loses two beacons
We pause to note with sadness the passing of two members of South Carolina's tight-knit arts community:
It's down to the wire
No. Not
that. This is your
two-weeks' two-day notice that nomination time is coming to a close for the
South Carolina Governor's Awards for the Arts and the
Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award. Nominations for both are due by 11:59 p.m. ET THIS FRIDAY, Nov. 6.

Hub E-vents: S.C. Jazz Festival starts Sunday
You want art. You crave art.
#SCartists and arts organizations want to fill that void.
They live for that. It’s a calling.
Yet in times of social distancing, that’s hard to do. Through the wonders of modern technology, many are trying and succeeding. So while we’re all staying home to protect vulnerable family, friends, and neighbors, The Hub is stepping up to fill the void between artists and arts lovers. (
Learn more about Hub E-vents here.)
Sunday-Saturday
South Carolina Jazz Festival
Celebrate Dizzy Gillespie’s 103rd birthday and enjoy a world-class jazz festival wherever you are on your favorite streaming devices. The 2020 South Carolina Jazz Festival features regional to international jazz stars from South Carolina, New York, Brazil and more.
The Town of Cheraw did not let the COVID-19 pandemic stop their annual jazz festival. They turned to ColaJazz Foundation Executive Director
Mark Rapp to create an online jazz festival experience.
“Unprecedented times calls for unprecedented actions and teamwork,” Rapp said. “The timeline is extraordinarily aggressive and most would say impossible; however, the town of Cheraw, the festival’s supporting sponsors, and ColaJazz were up for the challenge. I believe we have a festival that is incredible in its lineup and a powerful testament to overcoming obstacles. Overcoming is what jazz does!”
The 2020 SC Jazz Festival features a wide range of jazz talent including: Grammy Award nominated artists Tia Fuller, Don Braden, Delfeayo Marsalis; New York jazz stars Alexa Tarantino and Steven Feifke; recent Savannah Jazz Hall of Fame inductee Eric Jones; pianist Kevin Bales and his octet; Gino Castillo and Cuban trumpeter Julito Padron; artists from the Greenville Jazz Collective; the Charleston Jazz Orchestra;
Columbia’s own “Little Big Band: the band that could!”; Brazilian vocalist Liz Rosa; Brazilian pianist Serge Frasunkiewicz; and more.
All shows and information can be found on the festival’s website:
