M-AAA Now Accepting Applications for Artistic Innovations Grant

The Artistic Innovations Grant Program supports the development of new, original works in the Mid-America Arts Alliance (M-AAA) six-state region: Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. M-AAA intends to make awards that encourage the spirit of experimentation and exploration and benefit a broad constituency. Awards will be made across the six-state region, with at least two grants awarded per state. This program will disburse cost-sharing grants of up to $15,000 to no fewer than 12 grantees. Eligible applicants include individual artists and nonprofit 501(c)(3) arts organizations in the region.

The grant is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. Grant applications are open now and close March 13, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. CDT.
