Organization Summary
The Stockton Arts Commission offers two core grant programs. The Stockton Arts Enhancement Grants annually awards $50,000 to local artists in support of their work. In addition, the Public Art Enhancement Grant program annually awards $50,000 to local public artists to commission works for the City. The program especially encourages new public artists to apply in order to gain experience with smaller projects to build a portfolio. The Commission also hosts an annual art festival and a biennial arts awards program
