Abstract:

These include fellowships to individual artists, artist's fees for projects in schools, special community service programs, technical services and assistance, advocacy, expertise and support services to individual disciplines, employment opportunities, hardware and equipment, publications, exhibitions, legal consultations, and other direct and indirect arts assistance. Any non-profit entity, public or private, arts or non-arts-affiliated, may seek assistance from the Programs. (p. 1)
