The City of West Hollywood through its Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission is pleased to provide Arts Participation Grants to eligible nonprofit organizations.
Arts Participation Grants support arts projects developed by educational, social service, or community-based organizations in which art is not the primary mission of the organization or art projects developed by nonprofit arts organizations whose annual budget is less than $25,000.00. Maximum awards under this grant are $1,000.
The Arts Participation Grant can be applied for at any time during the year, as long as funding is available. Review is by the Performing Arts and Cultural Affairs Subcommittee who will forward recommendations to the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission for ratification. As part of this review process, applicants will fill out a simple application form and make a formal presentation to the Subcommittee during one of its regularly scheduled meetings.
It is recommended that applicants contact the program staff before beginning an application to determine eligibility and available funding. The application and fillable form can be found below:
Applications will be reviewed with the following criteria: purpose of grant; audience served; organization's involvement in and service to the West Hollywood community; ability to carry out the project and use the funds as awarded; alignment with the objectives of the Arts Participation Grant program.
