The Art + Community Grant program is designed to support projects and programs that serve and uplift our community, particularly for those who may not typically have access to the arts.
Applicants must demonstrate a deep understanding of, and reflect a commitment to, include and represent the communities or the natural, civic, or social ecosystems being supported. All funded activities or projects must be accessible to individuals with disabilities.
“We see this grant as a way to acknowledge and support the hard work being done by local artists, groups and organizations who are actively uplifting our community.” says Daisy Phillips, the Arts Council’s Director of Communications. “The Arts Council is honored to administer this program and we are excited to see Mariposa’s growing commitment to arts, culture and creativity.”
The Arts Council, is an incorporated not-for-profit organization, created to promote and support all forms of the cultural arts, for all ages, throughout Mariposa County and is supported in part by the County of Mariposa, the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and the California Arts Council, a state agency.
