Annapolis, MD - The Arts Council of Anne Arundel County is now accepting applications for the 2022 Spring Mini Grant program. Funding of up to $2,500 is available to eligible organizations and programs on a dollar-to-dollar matching basis.
Mini Grant support innovative, well-defined arts-related projects that reach a new or broader audience, preferably within underserved communities.

Mini Grant applications that reflect these goals are highly encouraged. Projects that feature partnerships with other arts or community organizations are also encouraged in an effort to engage more local residents in cultural and artistic activities. Arts Council staff is available to assist applicants with outreach and marketing to connect organizations with potential partners and audiences within Anne Arundel County.
