The Arts Council has established the North Carolina Arts Council Artist Support Grant (ASG) as a one-year regional grant program to support individual artists during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. The Artist Support Grant program expands the number of regional consortiums from 13 to 18 to ensure more equitable disbursement of funds to artists in rural and urban areas across the state. The program provides direct support to individual artists for professional and artistic development, either to enhance their skills and abilities to create work, or to improve their business operations and capacity to bring the work to audiences.
