DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Officials are reminding individuals and organizations to apply for grant money aimed at creating art in the state. The Iowa Arts Council says applicants can submit proposals for the project grant or job creation grant programs until Thursday. They may request between $1,000 and $10,000.

The project grant money would invest in projects that impact the vitality of the arts in the state and demonstrate public value. The job creation grant money would create jobs that contribute to the cultural vitality of the state. The money can be used for proposals occurring between October and the end of June 2014.
