Grant Program Overview
To encourage arts activities on campus and the enrichment of the University community’s cultural life, the Arts Council sponsors three grant programs:
- UChicagoArts Grants—for substantial, collaborative, public projects requesting funding between $1,500 and $10,000
- Student Fine Arts Fund—for small projects of RSOs or individual students requesting funding of less than $1,500
- Arts Council Summer Fellowships—awards of $1,500 for individual student summer projects
In addition, the Council provides resources for enhanced use of the arts in the classroom:
- Curricular Innovation Grants—grants from $2,000 to $5,000 intended for the development, enhancement, or renewal of arts courses
- Course Arts Resource Fund—grants of up to $500 for the integration of arts into courses
The review process is competitive. Generally, the Arts Council will be able to support only one project per year per applicant organization/individual.
Final reports will be required following the completion of projects funded with the support of a UChicagoArts grant. Further proposals from the same applicants will not be considered until the report regarding the previous Arts Council award has been submitted.
