Dakota Creative Connections - Program Description

The application deadline for the 2010 Dakota Creative Connections is April 9, 2010. Applications will be available online mid-February 2010.

Dakota Creative Connections Overview

Designed in collaboration with artists living in North Dakota and South Dakota, this initiative provides Dakota–based artists with project grants ranging from $3,000 to $6,000 combined with professional development activities and artist convenings.

Approximately 8 to 12 grants will be awarded each year.

The DCC program is intended to help Dakota-based artists develop new ideas and directions for specific projects. Artists working in all disciplines are eligible for support—categories alternate on a bi-annual basis. Funding may be used for travel, study and research, artist residencies and retreats, equipment and materials, and short-term projects.

Artists may be at any stage of their life’s work from early to mature.

We welcome applications from qualified artists who:

• are residents of North or South Dakota, and are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
• have lived in North Dakota or South Dakota for at least 24 months immediately prior to the application deadline.
• are at least 21 years old on the application deadline.

You are not eligible to apply if you are:

• a student enrolled full time in a degree-granting program after July 1, 2010.
