Art's Inspired Network's vision has been to encourage, equip, and empower local artists and arts organizations to make an artistic impact in our community. Since our inception in 2013, we have worked to provide local inspiration and support through a variety of programs for local students and organizations. This grant is designed to support the operational and administrative costs required to implement new artistic projects in the Kansas City area. We work with individual artists and smaller arts organizations that are in need of community support to assist in helping their artistic project become a reality. We look forward to sharing throughout the year these impactful artistic projects that local artists and arts organizations are creating. We believe the arts impact us all and improve our society for the better.
AIN Artistic Impact Grant KC 2022
Our first AIN Artistic Project Impact Grant KC 2022 was awarded to Noble Film House for their recent documentary entitled, "If You Only Knew My Father". With roots here in the Kansas City area with their arts development, this film was shown to over 2800 people in 28 locations including Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Texas, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. This is about a filmmaker that sets out across the country asking strangers to delve into their relationship with their fathers forcing them to look inward to address any hurts that might be present. Noble House is a nonprofit production that uses their talents as Storytellers, Dreamers, and Builders to create honest stories that are committed to truth, art, and the church. www.noblefilmhouse.org
