LMCC will offer two labs for applicants seeking further in-person, one-on-one guidance on preparing strong and eligible applications. Priority for Application Labs is given to applicants requiring language assistance in Spanish or Mandarin Chinese as well as applicants requiring access to laptops and internet to work on their applications.

- Individual Consultations: Meet one-on-one with LMCC staff to discuss your in-progress 2024 grant application. Each meeting is 30 minutes. Meetings are available in English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.
- Independent Work Session: Use this time to work independently on your 2024 Manhattan Arts Grant application. We highly encourage you to bring your own laptop computers.
