Interchange Artist Grant announces new grants and call for applications! Interchange will support sixteen artists with an active socially-engaged creative practice in the Mid-America Arts Alliance region* through:

• $20,000 in direct project support
• Professional development retreats with Interchange grantees
• Mentoring

Recognizing that there is a broad array of definitions and distinctions in the field commonly referred to as social practice, Interchange uses the definition of social and civic practice as outlined by The Center for Performance and Civic Practice:

• Artists working with the public on an artist-led vision that may include research, process, and/or content generation with an intention of social impact outside of traditional audience experience (social practice.)
• Artists co-designing a project with the public with the spoken intention to serve a public, non-arts partner’s self-defined need (civic practice).

*Artists are required to reside in the M-AAA region (Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas). Join us for this information session to learn more about the grants, eligibility, and application process. Application deadline for the 2021-2022 grant cycle is July 5, 2021. Interchange is a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance made possible with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. www.interchangeartistgrant.art"
