Artists Resiliency Fund Grant

Art and creativity are essential to our resilience as a community to get through hard times.

In response to the economic hardships many creative individuals and organizations have and continue to face due to the pandemic, Culver Arts launched the Arts Resiliency Fund, which provides grants to help local artists pay their utilities and other basic expenses so that they can maintain focus on their creative endeavors and imagine new possibilities through their artwork.

The Arts Resiliency fund has now been extended to local non-profit organizations to help meet operational expenses. Grants of up to $5,000 each will be provided, for a total of $50,000. See the link above to apply; deadline is September 30th.

The arts will always be the last to recover from the current hardships. Help us spread the word to raise funds for this critical program and support our vital artist community. Support the Arts Resiliency Fund today!

ORGANIZATION GRANTS

In 2022, Culver Arts offered grants up to $5,000 to Culver City arts organizations to support their ongoing operating costs. Intended to assist the many local arts organizations that have been facing economic hardship over the past few years, this grant funding was not tied to a specific program or activity, but was intended to offset general overhead expenses, such as rent, utilities, and administrative salaries/benefits, office equipment, technology, and materials, or be used to increase accessibility. Culver Arts wants local arts organizations to remain in Culver City, grow and reach wider audiences, and spend less time keeping the lights on and more time making art and inspiring creativity.
