Arts & Culture Creative Grants Available
The Lackawanna County Arts and Culture Department is offering individual artists, non-profit organizations and municipalities the opportunity to apply for a Lackawanna County Arts and Culture COVID-19 Creative Community Grant for a variety of projects that provide the community with positive arts experiences.
The activities can fall into the following categories: virtual projects, “real world” projects that follow CDC, State and County health guidelines, beautification/public art projects, or projects that promote health and safety in a creative way (signage, barriers, stickers, etc.).
Non-profits or municipalities may apply for a collaborative grant with a minimum of three partners. Churches may apply for public and non-religious activities only.
Applicants may apply for a grant in the following grant amounts: individual artists may apply for funding up to $5,000; projects with two collaborative partners the level is up to $10,000; and projects with three or more collaborative partners have a ceiling of $20,000.
The online application portal will open on August 20 on the Lackawanna County website and deadline for submission is September 15.
