Ignition Grants
Have an Idea to Make Baltimore Better? Need Money to Make It Happen?
Ignite Baltimore is making two Ignition Grants, of up to $2,250 each, available to support new, innovative projects that aim to make Baltimore a better place to live and work. These grants are funded by proceeds from Ignite Baltimore ticket sales.
Applications must be submitted by February 22, 2013 at 11:59 pm EST. The selected projects will be announced at Ignite Baltimore 12 on March 28, 2013. Application available here.
Past grants have supported supplies for low-earning women, who are using their crafting skills to generate income, so that they could sell their products at farmers’ markets; interviews with people who are homeless to encourage understanding of the experience of homelessness; a filmmaking course for youth in the Walbrook neighborhood; video tours of Baltimore’s parks and trails; and development of a website to showcase Baltimore’s dance community.

The National Endowment for the Arts cooperates with the U.S. Japan Friendship Commission in the implementation of this program. The U.S/Japan Creative Artists’ Program provides support for up to five outstanding contemporary or traditional artists from the United States to spend a three-month residency in Japan. Eligible applicants are architects, choreographers, composers, creative writers, designers, media artists, playwrights, visual artists, or solo theater artists who work with original material (including puppeteers, storytellers and performance artists). Multidisciplinary artists and artistic directors of theater or dance companies are also eligible.
The next deadline for this program is March 1, 2013 for residencies in 2014.
Selected artists will receive:
- A grant award in the amount of $20,000 to cover housing, living, and professional expenses for either 1 artist or a collaborative team.
- Up to $2,000 for round trip transportation for the artist.
Additional information, including guidelines and the application, can be found at http://www.jusfc.gov/creative-artists-programs/
The Global Connections program was designed by TCG and is funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. US-based theatre organizations and individual artists may apply to one of the two initiatives of this new program:
Global Connections—On the Road:This initiative will award 10 grants of up to $5,000 each to foster new relationships with international colleagues that will inspire each other’s work and aesthetics by creating opportunities for cultural exchange.
Global Connections—In the Lab: This initiative will award six grants of $10,000 each to further pre-existing international collaborations by supporting residencies that either advance the development of a piece or explore elements leading up to a full production.
On the Road grants are not prerequisites for the In the Lab grants. Previous recipients of either initiative are not eligible to apply in consecutive cycles. Please review the deadline section which identifies specific periods for all eligible activity.
Both initiatives of the Global Connections program were created in response to the natural evolution and development of TCG’s previous international programs and services. To date, many U.S.-based theatre organizations and individual artists have made substantial strides in learning and developing projects with colleagues abroad. As a result of this work, many require additional resources to further the relationships established from their initial travels and first encounters. In addition, TCG recognizes the importance in continuing to seed new relationships by building a solid foundation for fruitful cultural exchanges—The Global Connections On the Road and In the Lab grants are designed to meet these two distinct needs. Application deadline: March 11, 2013.
