Add to your Heritage Ohio conference experience by learning more about the OAC’s many grant programs for organizations and artists. The first part of our session will feature an overview of available funding programs and resources, including operating support grants, project support grants, and grants available through our Artist Programs offices. You’ll learn what each program is, how it works, when you can apply, and how to be successful. When that presentation concludes, we’ll use the rest of our session to answer questions and clarify information discussed. See you there!
