About this grant
Pilot grants for arts journalism and cultural coverage: travel grants for reporting trips, grants to individual arts journalists, and larger grants to media outlets that hire them. Applicants must live in or be headquartered in a South Arts state such as Tennessee (travel grants can come from outside the South if the reporting covers Southern art).
