Knight Arts Challenge questions answered at MOCAD
April 4, 7-9 p.m.
This Thursday, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation staff will be on hand to answer questions about the Knight Arts Challenge, offering a share of $3 million to arts and culture projects that engage and enrich the city. Knight’s Tatiana Hernandez will be offering tips on a range of issues from how to make an application stand out, to the challenge requirements and more.
The challenge is open to everyone — including individual artists and artist collectives, There are only three rules for the challenge: The idea must be about the arts; the project must take place in or benefit Detroit; the grant recipients must find funds to match Knight’s commitment (within a year).
