Texas Commission on the Arts: Arts Respond

From the TCA: 

Texas Commission on the Arts would like to remind you that we are currently accepting applications for Arts Respond applications for next fiscal year (Sept 1, 2011- August 31, 2012).

Arts Respond Projects (deadline July 15, 2011)
Arts Respond Performance Support (deadline August 1, 2011)

Please be aware our budget for next fiscal year has not yet been determined, but we do want to share what we know at this point.  We hope this will help you in making better use of your development efforts.

Our funding for Economic Development has been eliminated entirely for the next two years.  This includes project grants focused on economic development as well as most of our funds for performances for festivals,
etc.  [This was a legislative strategy to reduce the State spending across all agencies, not just TCA.]

Our Education funding is likely to continue to be strong for the next two years.  This includes project grants focused on K-12 education as well as performances and activities for schools and K-12 audiences.

As always, the TCA Program Staff is here to help if you have any questions or concerns:
512/463-5535 ext. zero
800/252-9415 (message only)
