The Kentucky Arts Council will introduce artists,
educators and representatives from arts organizations, non-profit
community organizations, libraries, downtown development districts and
local government agencies to the arts grants and programs available to
increase arts participation in Kentucky. The three-hour workshops will
be held on dates from October 29 through December 11, 2008, in Elkhorn
City, Flemingsburg, Horse Cave, Owensboro, Paducah, Lexington, Covington
and Louisville.

Attendees will learn about the details of the state arts agency's Arts
Build Communities, Performing Arts on Tour, Folk Arts Project and
Teacher Initiated Program grants. The sessions will include tips on
writing effective applications, as well as a tutorial on how to navigate
through the agency's online grant management system, Kentucky Arts
Services OnLine (KASOL).

The workshops will also focus on the Kentucky Peer Advisory Network
program and the resources and directories available to identify talented
artists for projects and grants including performing, visual, craft,
literary, media and teaching artists.
