Building a Strong Art Works Proposal for the National Endowment for the Arts
Grant Center Webinar
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. EDT
In 2011, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), a longtime supporter of public broadcasting, restructured their popular grant programs funding arts projects to create the Art Works grant program. Art Works funds arts focused projects that address NEA’s key outcome areas of creation, engagement, learning and livability, and cover a broad range of disciplines including media arts, arts education and more recently arts journalism. The next round has an August 8, 2013 deadline. To help you prepare, on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. EDT, the Grant Center hosted the Director of Media Arts at NEA and longtime friend of public broadcasting, Alyce Myatt, for a discussion on this important opportunity. The conversation focused on your questions, and was intended to help you shape a strong and successful Art Works proposal.

The most recent round of Art Work grantees included Alabama Public Television, WMMT-FM, KBEM-FM and KCET providing support for television and radio production as well as multimedia educational curriculum development. You can access the full list of recent grantees on the NEA website.
Alyce Myatt is no stranger to the Grant Center, and was featured as a presenter on an April 2012 Grant Center webinar to discuss the changing landscape of media grants at NEA. To watch the event archive and to download additional resources, access the official webinar page.
