FY26 Creative Communities Partnership Grant Application Now Open
Thursday, January 23, 2025/Categories: News Board
The Virginia Commission for the Arts' Creative Communities Partnership Grant program is designed to encourage local governments to support the arts. The VCA will match, up to $4,500, subject to funds available, the tax monies given by independent town, city, county, and tribal governments to arts organizations. The money, which does not include school arts budgets or arts programming by parks and recreation departments, may be granted either by a local arts commission/council or directly by the governing board.
