2020 National Arts Marketing Project Conference Scholarships

Scholarship applications are now closed!

2020 has been an eventful time for all arts and culture organizations. We know everyone is working harder than ever to keep their organizations relevant and engaged with their community. Scholarships are available for arts and culture marketing professionals who are unable to access resources for a paid registration to the National Arts Marketing Project Conference. Multiple changemakers from the same organization are welcome to apply for scholarships. We encourage those residing in and directly serving communities of color, rural populations, and marginalized audiences to submit a request for scholarship. Scholarship opportunities are available for both members and nonmembers of Americans for the Arts.
