2012 GET READY TO GO™
 Grants Online™ (GO™), NAC’s new online grants management system, is live! Follow GO™ instructions to register, create your applicant profile, answer narrative questions, complete the budget section, upload Support Material and submit the completed application. If you experience any problems using GO™, please contact NAC staff at 702.486.3700 or 775.687.6680.
FY13-14 NAC GRANT GUIDELINES & UPDATES
In addition to upgrading to GO™, NAC has implemented changes to several grants categories that we believe will result in more effective grant-making while maintaining our accountability and adherence to state and federal reporting requirements. Download a PDF of the FY13-14 NAC Grants Guidelines or request a print copy from either of our offices.
• We have changed the name of the Arts Education Program to the Arts Learning Program, and the Arts Education Project Grant and Arts Education Component to the Arts Learning Grant and Arts Learning Component. These changes more accurately reflect the NAC’s policy of promoting arts learning for all ages.
• The Development Grant has been eliminated. Those who would normally apply for a Development Grant will now apply for the Partners in Excellence (PIE) Grant Tier I: Level 1. No other changes will occur to the other five levels of PIE grants.
• The Better Education through the Arts Grant (BETA) has been eliminated. Those who would normally apply for a BETA Grant will now apply for a Jackpot Grant. Jackpot Grants will support the same type of arts education projects previously funded by BETA Grants.
• The new Artist Residency Express Grant encourages the use of artists from NAC’s three existing rosters (Arts Education, Folk Arts and Tumblewords) for short-term residencies by organizations and communities to help develop dynamic local cultural programs. Check it out!
• Applications for PIE: Tier II Grants are only accepted in an even year. If you are a Tier II-eligible organization that did not apply in FY12, you may only apply for a PIE: Tier I Grant in FY13. You may also apply for PIE Arts Learning Component funding in FY13. You may then apply for your correct level of funding in PIE: Tier II for FY 14.
OXS GALLERY FEATURES GARY REESE
 The Nevada Arts Council’s OXS Gallery features an exhibit by Gary Reese, In the State of Change: A Rephotographic Survey of Timothy O’Sullivan’s 1867-71 Expeditionary Photography, April 30 thru June 29. Reese is a Las Vegas based photographer who has re-photographed 52 of Timothy O’Sullivan’s 270 photographic views, taken between 1867 and 1871, in Nevada and adjacent areas of Arizona and California. By rephotographing the views of this famous western expeditionary photographer after 140 years, he updates O’Sullivan’s narrative on what was significant in Nevada immediately following statehood. Read more. The OXS Gallery is located at 716 N. Carson Street, Ste. A in Carson City, and is open Monday thru Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

NAC FEATURES GREAT BASIN PHOTOGRAPHY ON NEW INTERACTIVE WEBSITE
 Explore the magnificent Great Basin through the lenses of three regional photographers on NAC’s new interactive website, created by David Branby Advertising and supported with a grant from Western States Arts Federation. Great Basin Exteriors: A Photographic Survey website is a companion piece to the traveling exhibition of the same name and features the richly evocative images of Daniel Cheek, Adam Jahiel and Nolan Preece. Travel the back roads of Nevada, Utah, California and beyond to examine this region’s landscape, the people and the effects of change and abandonment.
