Grants

Nearly all grant applications must be submitted via OnLine Grant Applications (ARTIE), the OAC's web-based application system. To access ARTIE, click here. Applicants must read the OAC's funding Guidelines before applying to an OAC grant program. To view a list of current program deadlines, or information about upcoming panel meetings visit the Deadlines and Panel Meetings page.

Before you submit an application for funding to the Ohio Arts Council, please read all of the pertinent sections of Guidelines. We strongly encourage all potential applicants to contact our office to communicate with the appropriate program coordinator(s) before they complete their application. We also encourage all applicants -- both first-time and repeat applicants -- to submit draft applications. Contacting your program coordinator in advance and submitting a draft application allows the OAC staff to become familiar with your organization and its work, greatly increasing your chances of submitting an on-time, complete and competitive application to an appropriate program.
