ARTIST OPPORTUNITIES
We feature calls for artists that are taking place in Missouri or within 25 miles of the Missouri borders, have been created by a Missouri organization, have a strong Missouri link, or are programs of the federal government. We include significant programs for young artists.
We list opportunities that are limited to a particular region of Missouri. However, we do not list opportunities for which artists must be members of an organization.
We also post Missouri and federal grants for artists and arts organizations, as well as Missouri nonprofit conferences of interest to artists and arts organizations.
To have your information posted here, please email moarts@ltgov.mo.gov with a link to where the full information can be found online.
