Summary


Access several funding pathways that enable eligible applicants to access dollars that help sustain and elevate arts-focused efforts throughout the community. Awards are offered to nonprofit arts organizations, individual artists, and groups — though the specific requirements vary depending on the type of grant. The overarching purpose of these fund is to encourage artistic expression, increase community engagement, and support projects that invite public participation in cultural life.


One category of funding provides project support grants for specific arts projects such as performances, murals, festivals, concerts, workshops, and similar creative endeavors. These awards typically come in smaller amounts — for example $2,000 or $4,000 — depending on what the applicant requests and how the proposal scores during review.


Another funding track is general operating support for established arts nonprofits. These awards offer larger amounts — up to about $12,500 — to help organizations cover expenses related to ongoing programming and administrative functions that strengthen their ability to deliver arts services over time. Organizations must demonstrate a history of arts activity and community impact to qualify.


Occasionally, there are special thematic opportunities tied to public art or civic initiatives. For example, temporary art projects have previously been supported with awards ranging from modest individual artist grants up to $50,000 for nonprofit projects that address themes and engagement goals important to the city.


All programs share an emphasis on benefiting the public and contributes to cultural life there. Nonprofits, individual creators, and artist groups are encouraged to apply when seeking support for arts projects that align with this community-oriented intent.
