The DAF Program funds art only. It will not fund programming considered entertainment rather than fine/cultural art, history or living history, or non-professional artists. If the arts are only one portion of a larger program, such as a festival or series, the grant funds will support the artistic portion only.
Fiscal agents must be domiciled in the same parish as the sub-applicant. Fiscal agents may not serve as a provider of service within the same project. See guidelines for additional specifications. |
