Summary
DCA’s Cultural Grants Program invests in free and low-cost, public cultural activities and presentations taking place in the city. A nonprofit arts organization may propose an Artistic Project in one primary art form or discipline. For 2027-28, DCA invites new Artistic Project proposals within the disciplines of Dance, Music, Theatre, and Transdisciplinary Arts. Note for the current cycle, DCA will not be convening discipline-specific review panels in Culture/History, Design-Visual Arts, Literary Arts, Media Arts, and Traditional-Folk Arts. However, there will be very limited funding set aside (no more than five awards ranging between $3,000 to $5,000) for applicants who choose to apply within these disciplines with an “off-cycle” artistic project. Such applicants might also consider waiting until next year’s application cycle to apply if the proposed artistic project requires a larger grant for production
