MARION — The Marion Cultural Council is seeking applications for its grants that fund projects done by individuals and organizations for art and STEM-related projects that will help to enrich the Marion community

Online grant applications for the Marion Cultural Council grants will open on Oct. 1 and close on Nov. 15.

These grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Marion — including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, or performances in schools, workshops, and lectures. This year, the council asks applicants to consider a possible virtual or "back up" option/and or dates for their events if possible. The inability to do this will not hinder consideration, but it may be helpful for applicants’ project.
