The Lee’s Summit Arts Council (LSAC) appreciates the valuable art programs and services provided by our local arts organizations and citizens. To support the cultural arts in our community the LSAC will accept requests for financial support up to $500. All requests are subject to the LSAC’s approval.

The following criteria will be considered: community impact, demonstrated need for support, creative use of funds, artistic quality, ability to administer and implement project, and the diversity of population served.

Eligibility:

Support funds must be used for cultural art events/programs that take place in Lee’s Summit.
Individuals or organizations receiving financial support must provide a post event report to include:
1. A written report that includes a final overall financial performance, how many people were served, and all public relations materials with Arts Council logo and name.
2. A presentation to accompany the written report within two months of the conclusion of the event during a monthly Arts Council meeting.

Mini-grant requests are reviewed at the LSAC monthly meeting which meets the second Tuesday of every month. The deadline for consideration is the first of every month. Submissions received after the first of the month will not be reviewed until the following month.

Applicants are required to fill out the online application form for consideration. Any questions regarding the form or submissions may be directed to Tede Price at 816-969-1541 or tprice@cityofls.net.
