ART GRANT APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN The Louisville Cultural Council is offering art grants to artists and arts organizations serving the Louisville community. The annual art grant program provides financial and facility support to projects which utilize the arts as their primary means of expression. In awarding these grants, the Louisville Cultural Council seeks to further their mission of engaging our diverse social, cultural, and creative community. Diversity of media and creative artistic expression is encouraged. In consideration of the impact of COVID-19 on local artists and arts organizations including public health limitations on the size of in -person gatherings, new grant categories and eligibility requirements have been created for 2021. Grants for performances and other public projects have been altered to support socially -distanced arts opportunities for Louisville residents. Grants are also available to support the professional development and artistic enrichment of artists serving the Louisville community. Visit LouisvilleCO.gov/ArtGrant for more information.
