ABOUT THE GRANTS PROGRAM
Note: There will be no 2011 grant cycle for the Community Grants and Arts Education grant programs due to budget cuts.
The Community Arts and Arts Education grants program provides monetary grants to community-based arts organizations to ensure that art reaches the diverse citizens and communities throughout Pierce County.
Community Arts Grants support activities such as arts festivals, public performances, exhibitions, and arts services.
Arts Education Grants encourage collaborative efforts between arts organizations and Pierce County schools serving students in grades K-12.
