Award Process Heartland Arts Fund agreements will be issued upon receipt of a copy of the fully executed artist contract. Awards will be paid in two installments. One half of the award will be paid two weeks prior to the engagement. The second half of the award will be paid after the final report is received by the Heartland Arts Fund staff. Grant Evaluation Grantees must submit an evaluation of their grants to the South Dakota Arts Council within 30 days after the completion of the project or grant period.
Subsequent grants are dependent upon receipt of completed evaluation reports.
Exceptions Artists on the Touring Arts Roster are not required to evaluate their grants. Performing Arts Bank grantees must submit grant evaluations within 45 days of the completion of the project. Grantees with more than one grant to evaluate should make extra copies of the Evaluation Form. In-Schools Sponsors The South Dakota Arts Council will send the sponsor an evaluation form for the specific program to be evaluated. Do NOT use the standard evaluation form found in the Guide To Programs.
