Community Arts Project Grant
Application deadline: April 28, 2020
The Community Arts Project Grant prioritizes projects that emphasize accessibility to underserved audiences and that provide arts programming taking place in the City of Eugene. Individuals, groups, and organizations can apply.
Competitive project proposals demonstrate strategies for community impact and provide access and inclusion to underserved and underrepresented communities whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by ethnicity, economics, or disability. Proposals might include exhibits, performances, festivals, workshops, events, programs and other examples of arts and culture projects.
