MONTGOMERY, Ala., (December 2, 2022) - At its December quarterly meeting in Montgomery, Ala., the Alabama State Council on the Arts awarded 181 grants totaling $1,266,000 to 150 organizationsand individuals across the state.
Organizations providing public programs in arts education, folk arts, community arts, literary arts, dance, music, theatre, and visual art forms received funding this grants cycle. Some of these grants will support new and innovative public offerings and educational programs, along with administrative support; others will emphasize artistic traditions through the implementation of festivals, concerts, exhibitions, artist residencies, and workshops.
"The Council on the Arts is pleased to support educational groups, community organizations, and arts institutions with these grants," said Council chair Henry Panion, III, PhD (Birmingham). "Funds awarded through our granting process strengthen cultural expression and enhance Alabama's creative economy."
Folk Arts Apprenticeships were awarded to 20 individual artists. The apprenticeship program is designed to preserve and pass on Alabama's traditional arts. The grants are presented to artists so they can teach their skills to students and apprentices. These awards have consistently had a tremendous impact, not only by continuing important cultural expressions within communities but also by providing valuable artistic training for individuals. Among the grant recipients this year are artists working in craft traditions including quilting, white oak basketry, chair caning, woodworking, flute making, and pottery, along with performance traditions such as Old-time fiddling, Greek folk dancing, Bodhran (Irish drumming), and gospel quartet singing.
Recipients of the Folk Arts Apprenticeships showcase our state's vibrant and diverse cultural traditions. Through this program, the Council recognizes the value of traditional arts apprenticeship training and helps preserve and pass on the living traditions that make Alabama unique.
"We are steadfast in promoting arts organizations at the forefront of creative thinking and innovation, as well as the traditional cultural arts that are an important part of our shared history," said Council on the Arts executive director Elliot Knight, PhD.
The next grant application deadline is March 1, 2023, for individual artist fellowships and grants for planning, design, and construction of arts facilities. The application portal will open on January 3, 2023. The next deadline for organizations to apply for funding for projects is June 1, 2023, and the application portal will open on April 1, 2023.
For more information about the Alabama State Council on the Arts, visit arts.alabama.gov.
The grants below are in response to applications submitted under a September 1, 2022, deadline and will support projects and programming between January 1, 2023, and September 30, 2023.
