AAC Community Arts Funding

Community Arts Funding supports programs that bring the arts to neighborhood or social service populations. Non-profit social service and community organizations, including youth programs, neighborhood associations and organizations focusing on aging, health, counseling, disabilities and education may request $500-$2,000 per application and may submit up to two applications, but may request no more than $3,000 per grant round. No cash match is required. Individual artists may also apply for a Community Arts Funding grant through and in collaboration with eligible community organizations.

This program is designed to use the arts to address community needs and to expand access to arts experiences to people with limited opportunities. Eligible projects include, but are not limited to, artist residencies, workshops, the creation of public artwork, performances and neighborhood festivals. Applications for the 2008 Community Arts Funding grant round are due by 4:30 p.m. Thursday, January 31, 2008 for projects taking place between February 15, 2008 and October 15, 2008.
