Quarterly Artist Grants
Each fiscal quarter, the Athens Area Arts Council awards grants of $500 to organizations, artists, or events in Athens, GA. With this grant, the AAAC aims to fulfill our mission of “connecting arts to the community” in meaningful, substantial, and sustainable ways.
Grants awards are announced in April, July, October and January. Your application will be kept active for one year so that even if you are not awarded in the first quarter, you are still eligible to receive funding in a later quarter.
Deadlines for each quarter are March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15.
