Arts and Humanities Seed Grant Program Will Help Fund Movie, Recording, Art and More
Little Rock native Florence Price was the first African American woman to be recognized as a major symphonic composer. The seed grant program will make recordings of her violin concertos available for the first time.
The Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Economic Development has awarded faculty research grants through its annual Arts and Humanities Seed Grant Program. The $25,000 program provided five awards of $5,000 each to tenure-track faculty engaged in scholarly and/or creative activity in the arts and humanities. In selecting grant recipients, the award committee prioritized projects for which external funding opportunities are limited.
