Arts & Culture Resources

 

We recognize that artists need different types of support at different points in their career. 

The Iowa Arts Council offers both practice-based and project-based support to enable Iowa artists to achieve their artistic goals, create artworks and experiences that benefit Iowans, and grow their creative businesses in Iowa.

Practice-Based Support

Project-Based Support

Note: Professional development activities - including artist residencies, classes, and workshops - may be a component of Art Project Grant requests, provided they are integral to carrying out a publicly accessible project that benefits Iowans.

Business Resources for Artists

Being an artist means being an entrepreneur. This list of resources includes tools an artist can use to ensure they have the business know-how to support the business side of their artistic career.
