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.

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.
