The Holter Museum of Art and First Security Bank understand the vital role working artists play in our community. They also recognize the economic struggles artists face in the pursuit of their craft. First Security Bank is the title sponsor of this program. This grant was created to help artists create new projects, purchase equipment that will help production of their work.
For that reason, the two organizations created the First Security Artist Grants program. This allows artists the opportunity to easily apply for grants. The First Security Grants are meant to increase the exploratory opportunity, economic stability, and production capacity of artists by providing grants up to $3,000 in unrestricted support of visual arts.
