Final week for applications to round two of Knight Arts Challenge

    This week is the last for applications to round 2 of the Knight Arts Challenge.

    Open to everyone in Philadelphia, the three-year, $9 million initiative encourages organizations, businesses and individuals to submit 150-word applications for creative proposals.

    There are just three rules:

    1) The idea must be about the arts. 2) The project must take place in or benefit Philadelphia. 3) The grant recipients must find funds to match Knight’s commitment (within a year).
