Arts & culture grants support the arts, foster creativity and help to build cultural connections in the community. Grants support not-for-profit arts organizations, other recognized arts groups and collectives, as well as a range of community groups active in producing local events and activities.
Grants are provided in six areas. Follow the links below for more information and to learn how to apply:

The grants are designed to sustain the operations of key arts organizations, incentivize creative innovation and new initiatives, support events and festivals, and foster a wide range of activities that reflect the talent, creativity, spirit and diversity of the community.
