The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announces funds to support projects that contribute toward the livability of communities and help transform them into lively, beautiful, and sustainable places with the arts at their core. Eligible applicants include city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, special district governments, public, state, and private institutions of higher education, state governments, nonprofit organizations, and DC government agencies.
Grants will range from $25,000 to $200,000 for creative and innovative projects in which communities, together with their arts and design organizations and artists, seek to improve their quality of life, encourage greater creative activity, foster stronger community identity and a sense of place, and revitalize economic development. Projects may include arts engagement, cultural planning, and design activities such as:
- Festivals and performances in spaces not normally used for such purposes
- Public art that improves public spaces and strategically reflects or shapes the physical and social character of a community
- Support for creative entrepreneurship
- Design of cultural spaces – new or adaptive reuse
