Southarts Grants and Opportunities

Grants up to $9,500 for organizations to present a Southern artist for a performing arts, literary arts, visual arts, or film engagement.

Screening Partners present Southern Circuit film screenings, Q&As, and other filmmaker engagements with the community.

These funds support projects engaging a traditional artist/ensemble for multi-day residencies in Southern communities with awards of up to $5,000.

Join South Arts and working visual artist and creative Erin Kendrick for this special South Arts virtual learning opportunity. During our time together, Erin will share how she uses the social media tool Linktree and other social media platforms to promote her art, archive her work, and sell her art. We will begin with the basics and dive into real examples provided by Erin, a Southern working artist.

Open to organizations in rural communities of 50,000 people or less, the Express Grant program offers expedited awards of up to $3,000 supporting the presentation of touring artists.

These grants offer up to $1,000 to support artistic planning and the professional development needs of Southern presenters, programmers, or curators.
