As more and more small business are struggling with making ends meet during this pandemic, we wanted to see if there are any options for arts and crafts vendors to maybe find funding for our fellow artisans. This pandemic hit home for so many of us and it’s really encouraging to see efforts from government institutions or non-profits to support these types of businesses. While doing some research online to find if there are any programs focused on helping  artists, we came across the National Endowment for the Arts and the grants they are offering. We included the link below: 

GRANTS FOR ARTS PROJECTS Guidelines: Folk & Traditional Arts

We encourage all small business and artists to check them out and if qualified, apply for the grant. Good luck!
