Artpreneur Launch Grants

In 2022, a pilot round of Artpreneur Launch Grants were awarded to UNCSA alumni. Creativity knows no bounds and UNCSA alumni demonstrate that. In the ever-changing artistic landscape of the 21st century, Artpreneur Launch Grants provided support for creative start-ups and creative projects led by alumni.

UNCSA defines an Artpreneur as an artist who reaches beyond existing disciplines, technologies, constructs and processes to effect change they wish to see in the world through their creative practice.

Applications for the Artpreneur program are not being accepted at this time. For questions, please email artpreneur@uncsa.edu.
