Collections Care and Conservation: How to submit an Art Works grant to the National Endowment for the Arts

Live Chat Webinar
Wednesday, June 6 at 1:00 pm EDT

August 9, 2012 is the deadline for applications for conservation projects supported through the Art Works program at the National Endowment for the Arts.  Join Wendy Clark, Museum Specialist, National Endowment for the Arts, at 1:00 pm EDT on Wednesday, June 6 to ask your questions and learn helpful Do’s and Don’ts for your application.

The NEA’s guiding principle is embodied in one sentence: “Art works.” “Art works” is a noun; the creation of works of art by artists. “Art works” is a verb; art works on and within people to change and inspire them. “Art works” is a statement; arts jobs are real jobs that are part of the real economy.

Art Works encourages and supports the following four outcomes:

·         Creation: The creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence,

·         Engagement: Public engagement with diverse and excellent art,

·         Learning: Lifelong learning in the arts, and

·         Livability: The strengthening of communities through the arts.

Featured Resources:

·         NEA’s online information on the Art Works program

·         NEA’s complete list of 2011 grants to museums
