COVID-19 Program Updates and Resources
In response to COVID-19, the Maryland State Arts Council convened on March 25, 2020 and approved the following changes for FY20 Professional Development Opportunity Grants:
1. Funding use restrictions have been alleviated and may be used for any arts-related expense until further notice.
2. Use of FY20 funds may be extended until November 30, 2020 by submitting a request to Dana.Parsons@maryland.gov.
Find all other MSAC COVID-19 information here.
At this time, the Professional Development Opportunity Grant Program is closed for FY20. All remaining funds have been allocated to the Emergency Grant Program.
Any submitted grants should reflect programming in the new fiscal year (after July 1) and will not be reviewed until July 2020. As soon as information is available, an update on FY21 funds (beginning July 1) will be provided.
