NEA Announces Creativity Connects Grant

The Creativity Connects pilot grant opportunity is a dive into the unknown for the National Endowment for the Arts. We are hoping this initiative will expand the NEA’s reach well past its traditional constituents and embrace businesses and organizations in non-arts sectors of the economy that have much to learn from as well as much to teach to artists and arts organizations in all disciplines.

How will this happen? Well, two of the three components of the Creativity Connects initiative are all about partnerships and how unlikely partners (an arts organization and a partner from the non-arts sector) can sometimes produce unexpected results that benefit all parties.

Let me quote from the guidelines: “Creativity Connects will show how the arts are central to the country’s creative ecosystem… explore how the arts connect with other industries and invest in innovative project to spark new ideas for the arts field.”
