The Hermann Arts Council is currently accepting applications for its 2025 grant cycle to support arts and cultural initiatives within the Hermann, Missouri area. These grants are available to both nonprofit organizations and individual artists whose work strengthens the arts and cultural landscape of the region. As part of its broader mission, the Council also offers educational and networking resources to applicants and awardees, helping to sustain and expand creative programs throughout the community.

The deadline to apply for the 2025 grant cycle is March 31, 2025, by 4:00 PM. All applications, along with supporting materials, must be either mailed or hand-delivered to Hermann City Hall at 1902 Jefferson Street, Hermann, MO 65041. Grants may be awarded for projects and events occurring anytime through December 31, 2025.

The funding opportunity is intended to promote a variety of public arts and music, with a direct benefit to the arts community in Hermann. The Council especially encourages applications that contribute to the growth and visibility of diverse artistic disciplines. These include music, performance and theatre, creative writing, dance, drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, and various decorative arts such as graphic, interior, and fashion design.

Award recipients are required to publicly acknowledge the support of the Hermann Arts Council in all marketing and promotional efforts related to their funded projects. This includes incorporating the Council’s logo and the designated credit line—“With public support from the Hermann Mo Arts Council”—in materials such as press releases, printed programs, advertisements, websites, and social media platforms. On Facebook and Instagram, recipients are expected to tag the Council using @HermannMoArtsCouncil, and provide a website link back to www.hermannarts.org when possible. Verbal recognition is also expected during public presentations or interviews where no printed or digital materials are used.

Applications must be submitted using the official grant application form, available for download on the Hermann Arts Council’s website. The Council does not specify award amounts or the number of grants to be issued, focusing instead on the artistic merit and community benefit of each proposal.
