JOIN US FOR A FREE IN-PERSON WORKSHOP FOR ABC GRANT APPLICANTS
The purpose of the workshop is to assist applicants in writing the Arts Build Communities (ABC) grant applications. The ABC grant program is designed to provide support for arts projects that broaden access to arts experiences, address community quality of life issues through the arts, or enhance the sustainability of asset-based cultural enterprises. The Greater Nashville Regional Council (GNRC) is designated to administer the ABC program on behalf of the TN Arts Commission for the following counties: Davidson, Rutherford, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson, and Wilson.
