Throughout the year, the Division offers free technical assistance workshops for Mercer County nonprofit organizations, libraries, schools, local government entities, and individuals interested in developing or expanding arts, cultural, and historic programming. These workshops provide guidance on grant application requirements, project planning, budgeting, program development, and best practices for managing funded projects.
