Starkville Area Arts Council is reopening its grant pool, in response to the impact of COVID-19!
In collaboration with the Del Rendon Foundation and other community partners and arts organizations, this endeavor will bring Starkville and surrounding communities free arts programming and educational opportunities through the Stay At Home Fest! #StayAtHomeFestMS is a series of online lessons, readings, demonstrations, and performances by creatives to provide art education and entertainment to our communities.
How it works:
SAAC and DRF invite creatives (in the Golden Triangle Region) of any artistic discipline (visual, performance, writers, etc) to participate. The artist will propose any sort of artistic content (performances, readings, workshops, demonstrations, etc.) that shows their craft and/or serves artistic and/or educational purposes. These may range from short, 15-minute readings or lessons or demos up to 45-minute sets. If accepted, the artist will provide content to SAAC or DRF via prerecorded video or, if available, live stream to be posted on the state-wide Stay At Home Fest Facebook page and other locations!
Stipends may be available for artists who have lost income and are not currently receiving salary or compensation from an employer, with priority given to Oktibbeha County-based artists. Artists may submit multiple proposals and may be eligible for multiple stipends. If you seek a stipend and wish to livve-stream an event, please apply with advance notice of at least 72 hours before the event.
NOTE: Any artist who is NOT seeking a stipend may also participate.
That's it!
Have an idea? Please submit! We'll hash out details with you over the phone.

Grants
The ongoing economic growth of Starkville, as well as the improvement of the quality of life for our residents is one of the most important missions of the Starkville Area Arts Council. There are many ways in which we accomplish this mission. One way is through scholarships and grants. Scholarships are awarded to teenagers and high school students for college and summer arts programs.
