2023 Cultural Arts Operating Support Grant (CLOSED)

The Redmond Arts and Culture Commission recently approved to transition the annual Arts Season Grant to an Operating Support Grant. The City of Redmond will offer limited, unrestricted support to eligible organizations in Redmond whose missions serve the community through access to arts, arts education, and cultural heritage experiences. This program is intended to assist with the attraction and retention of established and emerging arts and culture organizations. In addition to funding, the City of Redmond will provide access to resources and additional support and opportunities for grantees.
