The Lake Superior Art Association’s mission is to promote and encourage development of visual arts and artists in the Marquette County area through programs and services directed towards appreciation of and participation in the visual arts.
The Lake Superior Art Association has established a program to provide grants for any person, group, or organization in the county that needs financial assistance to purchase art supplies.
All parties requesting financial support must complete the Lake Superior Art Association Grant Request Form, linked below.
A form can also be requested by emailing us at lsaainfo4u@gmail.com
Persons applying for a grant must be 18 or older. An adult may request a grant for a child’s art materials.
For-profit organizations may not request an LSAA grant.
Grant money may only be used to purchase art supplies, not to pay wages or fees.
Grant money must be spent entirely on the proposed program or activity described in the application.
The deadline for grant submissions is November 15th of each year. Grant requesters will be notified during the month of January, if their requests have been accepted or not.
LSAA has authorized a pool of up to $5,000.00 to be distributed among the parties who request grants, and reserves the option to adjust the awarded amount to each grantee.
Within a year of receiving an LSAA grant, recipients are required to submit a final summary, stating how the grant was spent. If possible, please include photos. This summary can be mailed to LSAA PO Box 9 Marquette, MI 49855 or emailed to lsaainfo4u@gmail.com.
All requests can be kept confidential, with only LSAA’s Grant Committee permitted to read the requests, if this choice is indicated on the application form.
