BISMARCK – North Dakota Council on the Arts invites artists, nonprofit organizations and educational institutions across the state to apply for funding through its Fiscal Year 2026 grant programs.

Many programs have limited funding, so early submission is highly recommended. Artists and organizations are encouraged to apply for more than one program, based on needs and eligibility.

Grants are available to support arts accessibility, creative projects in literature and music for individual artists, partnerships with schools, arts programming expansion, traditional arts apprenticeships and operation funding for established arts organizations. Grants also are available to support Artist in Residence in schools, professional development and special projects.
