MONTEREY COUNTY — Arts Council for Monterey County (Arts4MC) has announced that applications for the spring cycle of the Community Arts Grants officially opened on March 16.
The grants are designed to empower local nonprofit organizations to bring vibrant public arts and culture programs to life across the region.
The Community Arts Grants provide awards of up to $7,500 annually to support both new initiatives and the sustaining of beloved existing programs. To be eligible, nonprofit organizations must have a total annual revenue less than $3 million.
“We are proud to support the vision of our local organizations that work tirelessly to enrich our community through the arts,” said Jacquie Atchison, executive director of Arts4MC. “Whether it’s a mural, a performance or a community workshop, these grants help ensure that arts and culture remain accessible to everyone in Monterey County.”
The Community Arts Grants are made possible through the support of several key partners, including the County of Monterey, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the Todd Lueders Fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County. Arts4MC also extends its gratitude to the Monterey County Board of Supervisors for their continued commitment to advancing the local arts landscape.
Interested organizations are encouraged to review the grant guidelines and prepare their proposals in advance. The application period runs until April 13.
Zoom office hours will be held every Tuesday from 2 to 3 p.m. to provide assistance at bit.ly/commartsgrantsofficehours. For those in South Monterey County who want to make an appointment at the King City office, email kl***@*****mc.org.
