The ArtSeed Grant is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin.
|
The purpose of the ArtSeed grant program is to encourage and enhance the arts in the Racine area and to foster excitement, support and growth in the arts community. The RAC supports projects that encourage new, innovative or experimental programs based in the arts. This program is meant to assist small arts groups as well as individuals interested in the arts. Artists or arts groups from Racine County may apply for an ArtSeed grant to help fund projects where activities occur primarily within Racine County. Projects which involve partnerships and collaborations are of particular interest.

The ArtSEED Re-Granting Program is Foundational to the Racine Arts Council.
