Arts Midwest now is accepting applications for the 2023-2024 National Endowment for the Arts Big Read Program. The Big Read is a community engagement opportunity with grants for up to $20,000 for communitywide reading programs focusing on one of 15 available books. Organizations eligible for the grant include school districts, institutions of higher education, libraries and more.

Past grantees have a proven track record of successfully engaging their audiences through the power of literature and stirring up a passion for reading that persists year after year. They also have developed meaningful and lasting partnerships with other organizations in their communities.
