M-AAA’s Artistic Innovations grant program provides cost-sharing grants of up to $15,000 to help artists and organizations in our six-state region (Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas) to create new, original works of art. 

Since its inception in 2012, Artistic Innovations has awarded over $2 million to support new art projects, enriching audiences across the region. Whether your expertise lies in dance, film, literature, music, theater, or visual arts, this grant is a chance to turn bold ideas into impactful creations.

Grant applications close March 13, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. CDT.
