Montana Arts Council's Individual Artist Fellowships Program seeks to recognize, reward and encourage individual artists in Montana. Fellowships of $5,000 are awarded to professional Montana artist who demonstrate excellence in their work.

This program supports both a wide range of residencies (lasting from as short as a day to as long as a year) by professional working artists and local or regional arts organizations (touring or locally based). The program also supports the creation of arts education special projects that further the essential place the arts hold in our state's formal and informal educational settings. This program integrates working artists into the daily activities of schools and communities for one-week to 10-month periods. Nationally selected poets and writers, musicians, dancers, visual artists, theater artists, folk artists, and video artists are available. Montana students, teachers, and community members observe the artist at work, work with the artist, and work on their own. These residency programs offer firsthand creative experiences for students, teachers, and other participants; professional support for artists; educational assistance to teachers and administrators; variety in existing curricula and/or programs; and stimulus for the surrounding community. The council awards grants to participating organizations to assist with artists' fees and the expenses of the residencies. Annual deadline dates may vary; contact the council for exact dates. The Arts Council will consider up to half the residency cost to a maximum of $675 per week for an individual and $1350 per week for companies. Title I and Class C schools are eligible for up to two-thirds support. Deadlines are ongoing. Please apply six weeks in advance of your short-term residency or three months in advance for a long-term residency or requests of $2,000 or more.

The Office of Museum Services promotes Utah museums and the essential role they play in our state as sources of community pride, centers of public education, and institutions which encourage economic development and tourism.

The purpose of the network is to increase the public's access to, and appreciation and understanding of, objects that might otherwise be inaccessible by encouraging the sharing of works of art between collecting institutions for extended periods of time. Three types of grants are available. Travel grants are available for the support of travel by museum personnel to prospective lending institutions to research possible loans and initiate loan negotiations. Surveying grants will be awarded to lending institutions to enable them to identify stored and/or underutilized objects, which are both suitable and available for future long-term loans. In addition, funds may be used to consult with potential borrowers to identify the type of objects that they would be interested in borrowing. Implementation grants will be awarded to support costs associated with actual loans of objects, such as insurance, matting and framing, and transport. Intent to apply is due by February 18; full proposal is due March 18. Annual deadline dates may vary; contact program staff for exact dates.

Chamber Music Camp, a week-long summer training offering 210 hours of individual and group music instruction by six artists for 45 youth at all levels culminating in a free recital and awards ceremony.

MPF supports programs which are often the only source of live music in the communities in which they take place. MPF is the largest single sponsor of live music in the world. A main objective of the Fund in recent years has been support of music education in the schools. As federal, state and municipal funding for music education in public schools has declined, MPF has increased its commitment to filling the void. Repeated studies have shown that exposure to music enhances a child's ability to read and learn. It has been shown to improve vocabulary, concentration, enhance problem solving skills and study habits, and encourage cooperation. At present, 25% of our available funds are earmarked for in-school programs.

Today, while the Fund supports all types of music, a priority is music that enhances education and affords public school students an opportunity to enjoy live music and interact with professional musicians.

The scheme provides support for professional performers and composers in Ireland through funding for music recording.
