Announcing New Grants from the Nevada Arts Council

The Nevada Arts Council is excited to announce our NEW Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) grants. Due to budget reductions, we were unable to move forward with the previously approved FY21 grant programs (current 2-year grants were not affected). With the limited amount of grant dollars that remain for FY21, the Nevada Arts Council staff and board created the following responsive grant opportunities that will address the most pressing needs of our constituents.
