Small-to-mid-sized arts organizations face disparities in their ability to access resources. Additionally, arts organizations serving communities of color are, in general, smaller and less financially secure than their counterparts in white communities.
We seek to support organizations producing and presenting art in any discipline, such as, but not limited to:
- Concert/performance/theatrical presentation: including artists' fees and other reasonable costs associated with the presentation.
- Creation of new work/commissioning: including commissioning fees and costs to present the work.
- Curation/exhibition: including space rental, installation, shipping and documentation.
- Residencies: including artists' fees, housing, travel and project budgets.
- Arts education programs: including out-of-school time arts education for students of all ages.
- Cultural activities: activities that enhance, celebrate and elevate narratives represented in the community member's lives, work and varied cultures, including activities led by cultural workers/bearers.
Priority will be given to organizations with budgets under $2 million.
