Past Lincoln Arts Council Project Grants

The Lincoln Arts Council has a history of funding a variety of projects and events produced by Lincoln's non-profit arts organizations. Each year LAC evaluates if there are funds available for the project grants and if there are funds, a call for proposals is issued which outlines funding priorities and criteria. The call for proposals is generally announced in the fall of each year.
