There are two Access to Artistic Excellence application deadlines. How does that work?
The types of projects eligible under each deadline vary. If you go to the Dance section of the guidelines, for example, you will see that certain types of dance projects are eligible under the March 12, 2009, deadline. Other types of dance projects are eligible under the August 13, 2009, deadline. We do this so that similar projects can be grouped together for application processing and review. Make sure that you apply under the deadline that is most appropriate to your particular project. Please note that there is only one deadline for artist community and opera projects: March 12 (there is no August deadline for artist community or opera projects).
