Summary
This funding opportunity supports creative individuals, small collaborative groups, and community-focused organizations within a defined metropolitan region to pursue artistic and cultural work that enriches the local arts landscape. The intent of the program is to encourage participation in the arts by providing resources that help cover living costs, research, creation, experimentation, production, presentation, and professional skill development. Eligible applicants can include practicing artists working independently, artist-led teams, and not-for-profit arts organizations that play a role in fostering cultural activity and community engagement.
The funds are designed to be flexible so that recipients can dedicate meaningful time and effort toward their creative goals, whether that means exploring new artistic processes, deepening their artistic practice, or preparing work for public presentation. In some cases, support is available for organizational planning, thoughtful adaptation, and connecting artists to broader audiences and professional networks. Funding may also recognize long-standing contributions by individual artists or arts workers who show excellence and sustained commitment to the local cultural community.
Grant amounts vary by stream and scope of work, with smaller fixed awards intended to support subsistence and creative exploration and larger awards available for substantial projects, professional development initiatives, or organizational investments. Both individuals and collectives may be eligible under certain streams, and nonprofit organizations with an arts-oriented mission can apply for project or operating support.
Applicants are typically expected to be based in or deeply connected to the region, and projects should reflect engagement with local artistic communities and audiences. This program aims to strengthen artistic vibrancy, support diverse creative voices, and ensure that practitioners have the time and resources needed to contribute meaningfully to cultural life. It operates on regular intake cycles throughout the year, providing multiple opportunities to apply.
