Get matched →Southern Artist Spotlight Grants provide funding for arts and community organizations to present Southern artists from the South Arts roster through public performances, screenings, exhibitions, and community engagement activities. Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, these grants are available to organizations in South Arts' nine-state region. Projects require a public presentation of the artist's work (film screening, performance, reading, or exhibition) and an educational/community engagement component (workshop, demonstration, panel, lecture, or master class).
Maximum request is $8,000 for dance or $5,000 for film, music, literary arts, traditional arts, and visual arts. The grant requires a dollar-for-dollar cash match (for example, an applicant that requests $5,000 must provide a $5,000 cash match for a project with a $10,000 artist fee).
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
