EAST LANSING, Mich. — The East Lansing Arts Commission is currently accepting applications for its Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) Cultural Arts Grant program.
The Cultural Arts Grant program supports high-quality public art projects that encourage artistic expression and public participation, with an emphasis on promoting cultural appreciation for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities as well as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersexual and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) community. The commission has up to $17,500 to allocate for FY23.
