APPLICATION LABS & VIRTUAL OFFICE HOURS

Receive additional support in preparing your 2024 Manhattan Arts Grants application by joining LMCC’s application labs or virtual office hours. Meet one-on-one with LMCC staff to discuss your questions or to review in-process application materials.

Please note the Application Labs & Virtual Office Hours are not information sessions. These meetings are intended for applicants who have already attended an information session and are already working on their applications for the 2024 Manhattan Arts Grants cycle.

APPLICATION LABS

LMCC will offer two labs for applicants seeking further in-person, one-on-one guidance on preparing strong and eligible applications. Priority for Application Labs is given to applicants requiring language assistance in Spanish or Mandarin Chinese as well as applicants requiring access to laptops and internet to work on their applications. Applicants may only sign up for one in-person consultation. Each lab will offer two different opportunities:

  • Individual Consultations: Meet one-on-one with LMCC staff to discuss your in-progress 2024 grant application. Each meeting is 30 minutes. Meetings are available in English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.
  • Independent Work Session: Use this time to work independently on your 2024 Manhattan Arts Grant application. We highly encourage you to bring your own laptop computers. LMCC will provide laptops to those who need them on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please note we have a limited availability of laptop computers.
