Beyond the project’s direct accomplishments, what was the impact on – or benefit to – your organization,
your discipline/field, and/or community?

acknowledgement of Arts Endowment support, (no more than three copies of each item) as attachments. Finally, be sure to
review your “Reporting Requirements” to determine if you must submit work products in addition to your narrative.
