The Arts Create-1 grant is designed to advance the creative economy of Texas by providing multi-year operational support to established arts organizations and college arts institutions. This competitive grant program targets organizations with annual budgets between $50,000 and $1 million. Applicants submit a proposal for one-year operational support, with the potential for renewal in the second year based on performance and availability of funds. The grant requires a dollar-for-dollar match and limits applications to one per organization in odd numbered years, aligning with the biennial application cycle.
