ATTENTION ARTS ORGANIZATIONS...

UPCOMING ARTS FUNDING DEADLINES!
 A reminder that deadlines for our annual arts funding process are
upcoming...the deadline for an optional staff review of proposals is
April 6. Review is for completeness and accuracy only. You may submit
any aspect of your application...the narrative, budget, or just a
concept you are considering...or the entire completed form. You will not
be penalized if you do not submit a draft. The final due date is May 4.
Applications must be in the OCA by 5:00 p.m. that day. This is not a
postmark deadline -- if you mail your application, allow additional time
for the city’s mail room to process items after the Post Office does
so. Late applications cannot be considered.

PRINTING YOUR ARTS FUNDING APPLICATION
Almost every year we get at least one frantic call the day that arts
funding applications are due.  Since every computer and printer set-up
is potentially different (and since we are not computer experts!), we
are generally unable to assist callers. Please note that there is a link
on the arts funding section of our web site that provides resources for
trouble-shooting printer problems, www.GoColumbiaMo.com (GoWord:
GoArtsFunding). You are strongly encouraged to access the online funding
form and print it well in advance of the deadline to confirm that your
computer set-up works successfully with it.

THE MISSOURI ARTS COUNCIL'S "LISTENING TOUR"
Make sure that mid Missouri’s voice is heard by attending the
Missouri Arts Council’s “Listening Tour” stop in Columbia on
Thursday, April 12, 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Columbia Convention and
Visitors Bureau, 300 S. Providence. MAC’s staff and board members will
be on hand to share specifics of MAC’s strategic plan and collect
input on it. For more info., call MAC toll free at 866-407-4752. You can
access a draft of the strategic plan at
www.missouriartscouncil.org/StrategicPlan2-8-07.doc.

COLUMBIA FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS
Applications for the visual, performing and literary components of the
Festival must be postmarked by April 20. Contact the OCA for a form,
573-874-6386, festival at GoColumbiaMo.com or access it online at
www.GoColumbiaMo.com (Go Word: GoArtsFestival). Information about
arts organization booths was sent mid March; if you are interested in
reserving one, call or email.
