The Arts Council for Long Beach will be accepting applications for its annual grants program until Friday, June 14. These grants are available for individual artists, community groups and organizations.
“As a leading arts agency and funder in Long Beach, our grants nurture and enliven the arts throughout the city,” said Arts Council for Long Beach Executive Director Griselda Suárez in a public statement. “We know that funding for the arts has an incredible return on investment. I am proud of our ongoing partnership with the city to build resilient arts and culture grant programming throughout Long Beach.”
The Arts Council for Long Beach has three categories of grants for each of these groups: Professional Artist Fellowship Grant, the Community Project Grant, and the Organization Grant.
Technical assistance workshops to help assist applicants will be held during May, and will include guidance on applying to the Community Project Grants and Professional Artist Fellowship Grants.
During these workshops, applicants will learn about the grant application process, how to refine their proposals, and receive personalized support from The Arts Council for Long Beach. One-on-one meetings will also be available for Organization Grant applicants.
These grants are funded by the City of Long Beach through its allocation for the arts, the Percent for Arts Program and the National Endowment for the Arts. From last year’s round of applicants, The Arts Council for Long Beach selected 32 grantees to receive a total of $310,000.
“We are excited to support these grantees while uplifting diverse voices in our amazing community,” Arts Council for Long Beach Board President Greg Johnson said in a public statement. “We must continue to create favorable conditions for artists to live and work here to retain our standing as a leading creative city.”
