The mission of the Arkansas Humanities Council is to promote understanding, appreciation, and use of the humanities in Arkansas. The council emphasizes the importance of humanities in reflecting diverse heritage, traditions, and history, alongside the relevance of humanities in current national conditions.
The Access to the Humanities Grant aims to assist nonprofit organizations in Arkansas by ensuring their humanities-related projects, events, and programs are accessible to individuals with disabilities and/or those requiring language interpretation or transcription. This grant seeks to provide a stop-gap solution for organizations to improve access when other funding sources are unavailable.
