Art Scholarships for the
2005 NCMC Annual Conference

The Arts Section of the NCMC is offering a limited number of scholarships for the NCMC conference in Salisbury this March 2-4. Scholarships covering the cost of the conference registration will be offered to art museum and gallery professionals across the state. Application was very competitive last year so get your form in early! The deadline is February 11. (After the deadline, contact NCMC to see if scholarships are still available. Awards will be made up to the date of the conference on a first-come, first-served basis.)

Scholarships will cover the cost of the conference registration, which allows admission to all conference sessions and activates, and also includes all meals from Wednesday evening thru Friday lunch. Application is open to any person who works for an arts-based museum, gallery, or organization within the state of North Carolina. Applicants do not have to be a member of NCMC. Special consideration will be given to professionals from institutions with limited budgets and/or those having the greatest distance to travel to attend the conference. These scholarships are supported by a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, an agency funded by the State of North Carolina and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Scholarship applications are available online, or contact Daphne Holmes, Arts Section Chair, art@ncmuseums.org or LeRae Umfleet, Membership Chair, membership@ncmuseums.org. More information about conference schedules, sessions, and registration forms for NCMC 2005 is available online. If you have additional questions regarding NCMC arts-related issues contact Daphne Holmes, Art Section Chair, art@ncmuseums.org.
