MCACA
Art Minigrant Program
The
MCACA
Art Minigrant program is a grants-giving partnership
funded by the State of Michigan through the Michigan
Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA) and
administered locally by CUPPAD.
There are 19 designated regions throughout the state;
CUPPAD administers the program
within the central Upper Peninsula. Region 12 consists
of Alger, Delta, Dickinson, Marquette, Menominee and
Schoolcraft Counties.
Minigrants
provide up to $4,000, on a matching basis, for locally
developed, high quality arts and cultural projects,
which are special opportunities to address local arts
and cultural needs and increase public access to arts
and culture. Minigrants support a broad range of artistic
expression from all cultures through projects which
preserve, produce, or present traditional or contemporary
arts and culture.
Eligibility
Requirements
Non-profit organizations, located in the state of
Michigan, including (but not limited to) service organizations,
arts organizations, parks and recreational organizations,
churches, professional associations, public and non-public
schools, cities, townships and villages may apply.

list of counties and Regional Regranters).

or commissions; and organizations with unmet obligations
on a Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs
grant may not apply for a Minigrant.
