Creative Aging Opportunity for TN Nonprofits

From Kim Johnson, Director of Arts Access –

For the past few years, the Tennessee Arts Commission has invested in art classes for people ages 60+ and recently gained funding from the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) and E. A. Michelson Philanthropy to continue this work in our state.

We are now accepting applications for funding through our Creative Aging grants initiative – https://tnartscommission.org/grants/creative-aging-tennessee-iii/.  501c3 nonprofits and/or governmental entities are encouraged to apply for up to $5,000 in funding for artist fees, materials for participants, marketing, and salary support for the applying organization.  There is no match.  The only stipulation is that the artist who conducts the arts classes 1) go through virtual training which will occur in Feb – March 2024 and 2) conduct a series of 4-10 sequential classes (i.e., not a one-time class but 4-10 classes ideally using the same participants.
