Missouri Arts Council

The Missouri Arts Council supports the arts that strengthen the cultural, educational, and economic vitality of Missouri. It offers project-based Express Grants on a rolling basis throughout the year to artists and organizations across the state. Each year it recognizes artists, organizations, and communities through the Missouri Arts Awards, now in its 44th annual edition. The Council also highlights individual Missouri artists through its Missouri Featured Artists Program, spotlighting work across disciplines and communities statewide.
