Grant Programs & Applications

Creativity Is Californian

The California Arts Council is your state arts agency. It’s our job to help maintain California’s unique identity by supporting the organizations that keep your artistic energy thriving and make our diverse communities healthy and vibrant. 

This year’s grant program offerings have been carefully designed to benefit the whole of California’s arts and culture ecosystem, with focused considerations for first-time applicants, small and mid-size arts and organizations, folk and traditional art forms, county local arts agencies and arts service organizations, and balanced opportunities with deep investment for both general operating and project-based support.
