This in from John McInerney intrepid art administrator at the Cultural Alliance and Mr. Philly Fun Guide himself…

We strongly encourage people to apply for the 5-County Arts Grants by the June 30th deadline, especially in the 4 suburban counties. They traditionally have fewer submissions but a large pool of funds. [Decoded: You have a much better chance of getting one.]

The original press release is here.

And here’s a couple of examples of 2005 grantees in the visual arts:

Marianne Ham – For a series of exhibits of photographic images of women farmers that express their passion for the land, commitment to saving the family farm, and their entrepreneurial spirit.

Diana Riukus – For workshops and public art-making events and an exhibit in collaboration with the Women’s Caucus for Art to make sculptural dress(es) on the theme of reaching out.

The Grants: grants of up to $3,000 to nonprofit organizations and individual artists that sponsor arts-related projects or programs in the five-county region of southeastern Pennsylvania that take place between September 1, 2006 and August 31, 2007.

How To: Apply online only!!! It’s easy (relatively).
