The Community and Arts Education programs provide monetary grants to community-based arts organizations to ensure that art reaches the diverse citizens and communities throughout Pierce County.

The Community Grant program provides support for arts festivals, public performances, exhibitions, and arts services.

The Arts Education Grant program seeks to encourage collaborative efforts between arts organizations and Pierce County schools serving students in grades K-12.

Grant applications for these programs are made available in August and must be submitted by October. Applications are reviewed and grantees selected in December for the following calendar year.
