Grant renewed every year. Grant Annual deadline: September 1st Arts organizations should apply in our main Arts Legacy Grant category if they are requesting between $3,000 and $10,000 in grant funds. This category is best suited for a series of projects and equipment expenditures that that arts organizations will need to make. Grants are for up to $10,000 with a minimum 10% cash match. We encourage one larger grant rather than several small grants for arts organizations. Main deadlines are August 1, November 1, and March 1; then on-going 1st of the month deadlines as funds remain.

This is also the main category to fund public art projects within communities such as murals and sculpture. There are many ideas for public art. We have worked with Forecast Public Art to develop a toolkit related to conducting a public art project in your community.
