The Enhancement Grant fund was created as part of our successful Memphis for the Arts endowment campaign and was designed to support arts projects that enable organizations to build capacity long-term and broaden, deepen and diversify audiences. ArtsMemphis' annually supported arts organizations are eligible to apply for Enhancement Grants. To date, ArtsMemphis has granted more than $2.3 million in Enhancement funds.
Applications are invited in the fall. The Enhancement Grant Committee is headed by ArtsMemphis board member Anne H. Stokes. Members of the committee are Andrew Clarkson, Bruce Hopkins, Barbara Jacobs, Lucy Lee and Gary Wunderlich.
