  • The artist selected for each mural location will receive a $250 award.

  • The artist’s name will be glazed into the tile, and there will be media announcements and publicity for the winning designs.

Funding & Community Impact
Supported by a $10,000 SEED Grant from Traverse City Rotary Charities, this project aims to enrich public spaces, engage participants of all ages, and foster creative outreach in under-resourced areas. The grant also builds momentum for expanding the NAA’s Clay Studio and broader programs.

Northport is deeply grateful to Traverse City Rotary Charities for their “Seeds” Grant, which supports community growth in the arts. This SEED Grant serves as a stepping stone toward a larger grant the Northport Arts Association hopes to secure for expanding the Clay Studio to accommodate a larger kiln, generously donated by The Chetcuti Evans Foundation

The larger kiln donation was made with the vision of hosting Artists-in-Residence, enhancing the diversity and reach of the clay program. Future grants are being pursued to expand access to the arts, particularly for:
·       Residents at Northport Highlands Assisted Living and Memory Care.
·       Preschool-age children
·       Individuals of all ages eager to create art but hindered by prohibitive costs
