The City of Lawrence is seeking applications for its Community Art Grant program to bolster the accomplishments of the arts community in Lawrence, as well as the strategic goals identified in the City-wide Cultural Plan.
Donor Name: City of Lawrence
State: Kansas
City: Lawrence
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 12/17/2022
Size of the Grant: $5,000 to $15,000
Details:
The Community Art Grant program is funded through transient guest tax (TGT) revenue (tax paid by hotel guests). As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, TGT revenues for lodging stays were significantly reduced in both 2020 and 2021. The TGT fund is reliant on these revenues to be able to fund the Community Art Grant and other city programs.
The purpose of the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission (LCAC) Community Arts Grant Program is to advance the goals identified by the Lawrence community in the City Wide Cultural Plan: Balance the Local, Embrace All / Celebrate Community, Build Places Together, Build and Market a Creative Brand, and Promote Lifelong Learning.
Funding Information
This year, grant amounts are anticipated to range from $5,000 to $15,000.
Criteria
Eligible for LCAC grants are organizations and individuals with a Lawrence, KS, address proposing projects sited in Lawrence that are designed to meet the purpose of the LCAC Grant Program and benefit Lawrence residents. All art-forms―visual, musical, and performing―are welcome and encouraged as part of this grant program.
