In addition, Arts Council board members will be conducting specific workshops on the technical aspects of the application.  Working through the application portal & preparing the support materials will be the focus.  The focus of this event is on technical questions, not content questions. The LCC grant portal is the online registration method required to apply for the LCC grant.
