NEA Art Works I, FY 2018
Deadline: February 16, 2017
Description:An organization may submit only one application through one of the following FY 2018 categories: Art Works or Challenge America. An organization may submit one additional application under the FY 2018 Art Works category for a Creativity Connects project. "Art Works" refers to three things: the works of art themselves, the ways art works on audiences, and the fact that art is work for the artists and arts professionals who make up the field. Art works by enhancing the value of individuals and communities, by connecting us to each other and to something greater than ourselves, and by empowering creativity and innovation in our society and economy. The arts exist for beauty itself, but they also are an inexhaustible source of meaning and inspiration.
