We’re giving you one more opportunity this week to ask questions before the Knight Arts Challenge Philadelphia deadline at midnight on Oct. 31. Join our live web chat this Thursday, Oct. 27 from 1 – 2 p.m. at KnightArts.org. Just type in your questions and get real-time answers from Knight Foundation staff Dennis Scholl, vice president/arts and Tatiana Hernandez, arts associate.

Last week, Tatiana and Philadelphia Program Director, Donna Frisby-Greenwood met with nearly 80 members of the community for a town hall meeting at the Live Arts studio. The room was buzzing with ideas and conversations about community engagement from a varied group, including individual artists of all kinds and people representing both non-profit and for-profit organizations.

We live-tweeted the event, and here are some highlights from the session. We hope you’ll join us for the web chat this Thursday. In the meantime, you can visit our FAQ page or ask us questions using #AskKnightArts on Twitter.

Via @KnightArts This is unlike any other grant app: Enter your contact info, the title of your project, describe it in 150 words. That’s it!

Ideas that engage the community & bring new audiences to the arts will resonate with the readers. Push the envelope.

Ideas that resonate: things that are uniquely your neighborhood, uniquely your city, uniquely your genre – but with a twist.

Q: Does the size of the organization matter? No, it doesn’t matter at all. It’s all about the idea.

Emma Gibson, Tiny Dynamite: “Everything you’ve ever dreamed of doing-get those apps in. Knight is there for you every step.”

Knight Arts Assoc. Tatiana Hernandez: Think of a catchy title. It helps readers remember your idea.

Final reminder: 1) It must be about the arts. 2) Must take place in Philly. 3) You raise matching funds. Everyone can apply!
