MSAC is excited to open applications to its newest program, Grants for Artists, which broadly supports Maryland independent artists’ working and living expenses with $6,000 grants. This program was designed based on extensive public input over the past 18 months, and it is intended to bolster the creative workforce that composes a significant portion of Maryland’s creative and economic activity

Two rounds of grants supporting a total of 250 artists will be given in FY 2023, which ends June 30.
