The Oregon Arts Commission has announced a January 14, 2005 application deadline for Operating Support grants, designed to recognize and support the operations of and public access to the excellent programs of Oregon's medium and large arts organizations. These matching grants support arts organizations from around Oregon, and are established because the Arts Commission knows that the arts are integral to Oregon=s quality of life and community development. These Operating Support grants provide matching funds that are leveraged many times over by arts organizations, contributing to Oregon's economy", said Christine D'Arcy, director of the Arts Commission. The program recognizes artistic excellence as well as the role that arts organizations are taking in the broader, cultural, social, educational and economic areas of community life. Operating Support Grants will be accepted from non-profit organizations with a cash income of at least $50,000 per year. Applications will be accepted until January 14, 12005. Grant requests must be for activities and projects occurring between January 1 - December 31, 2005. Guidelines are available online: www.oregonartscommission.org, or may be requested from the Arts Commission, 775 Summer Street NE, Suite 200, Salem, Oregon 97301-1284, (503) 986-0082. Applicants are encouraged to review the program guidelines, then call Arts Commission staff to discuss the proposed project. This is a competitive grants program, and a discussion with Arts Commission staff can clarify the intent of the program and sometimes direct a project to a more appropriate funding source outside the Arts Commission. The Oregon Arts Commission provides leadership, funding and arts programs through its grants, special initiatives and services. Nine Commissioners, appointed by the Governor, determine arts needs and establish policies for public support of the arts. The Arts Commission became part of the Economic and Community Development Department in 1993, in recognition of the expanding role the arts play in the broader social, economic and educational arenas of Oregon communities.
