CHICAGO (AP) – Artists and non-profit arts groups are eligible to apply for grant money from the city of Chicago.

The city’s Community Arts Assistance Program offers grants of up to $1,000 for professional, artistic and organizational development projects. Artists from all disciplines and experience levels can apply. They have to be residents of Chicago for at least six months prior to the application deadline on Jan. 30.

Chicago nonprofit arts groups can apply if their budgets are less than $150,000.

City arts officials say the goal of the program is to discover, nurture and expand Chicago’s arts community.
