Artspace today announced the Sept. 12 application deadline and details of the expanded “Artspace Immersion: Memphis” program. The competitive process will award six to 10 arts organizations entry into the 18-month cohort, designed to build local capacity for creating and maintaining affordable space for arts, cultural, and creative pursuits in Memphis, TN. The original launch date was postponed as Artspace worked to secure resources to expand the free program, which now includes a $5,000 stipend for each organization that successfully completes the program; as well as a two-day learning tour to Artspace’s headquarters in Minneapolis, MN. “We are thrilled to expand the program so that participants will not only build their plans, skills, and networks; but will also receive seed funding to put their plans in action,” said Anna Growcott, Artspace Director of Consulting & Strategic Partnerships.
