LRAC Artist Quick Start Grant Applications Open

Application Opens: June 25, 2026 | Lake Region Arts Council

The Artist Quick Start Grant provides $2,000 to support activities and projects that advance artistic achievement and career development. This opportunity is open to individual artists in all disciplines—including visual, literary, music, performance, and interdisciplinary arts—who live within LRAC's nine-county region and have never previously received artist funding through an LRAC grant program.

Whether you're pursuing a new creative project, attending professional development opportunities, or investing in your artistic practice, the Artist Quick Start Grant can help you take the next step in your career.
