The Lakeland Council for the Arts is now accepting grants applications to assist in funding for art and cultural related organizations. The application process is open to non-profit members of the Lakeland arts community with the Lakeland city limits. For profit organizations and educational institutions are not eligible for the program. The application deadline is August 19th at 4:30 p.m.
Go to www.lakelandgov.net/lmca to view the application and review information on the grant process. Interested applicants can easily complete the webform that will be scored on a summary of core arts/cultural programming, financial history and program successes.
The primary mission of the LMCA Grant is the enhancement, promotion, and support of Lakeland’s arts community and its associated creative economy. Artistic enterprises headquartered within the Lakeland city limits are eligible to apply for funding through this process. Depending on the number of award recipients and total funds available, individual grant awards will consist of up to 5% of each organization’s prior year operating expenses.
