What is ArtSpark?

Acadiana Center for the Arts's ArtSpark webpage: https://acadianacenterforthearts.org/opportunities-for-artists/artspark/

ArtSpark is a competitive grant program supporting individual artists in Acadiana by providing technical support, funding and entrepreneurial training to artists in various fields.

These awards offer assistance to emerging, mid-career, and established artists for specific, short-term projects with a component of community outreach and a focus on the artists’ and/or communities’ economic development with the support of Lafayette Economic Development Authority.

This program is committed to expanding access to resources and professional opportunities for artists from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences by reducing barriers to participation and creating fair access to support that helps artists strengthen their practice and grow their careers.

Funding for this program is made possible by Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA) and is administered by the Acadiana Center for the Arts (AcA).
