Ignite Arts Grant Virtual Info Session - Erie Arts and Culture
Erie Arts & Culture requests proposals for our 2021 Ignite Arts Grants. Ignite Arts Grants are designed to provide up to $2,500 in financial support to a variety of arts, cultural and heritage activities to help strengthen the vibrancy and vitality of the Erie Region and enrich the lives of our residents.
Proposals for Erie Arts & Culture Ignite Arts Grants are accepted once per year. Complete proposals are evaluated by a volunteer panel based on the following criteria: Project Quality, Community Engagement and Impact, and Management. Final funding decisions are made by the Erie Arts & Culture Board of Trustees.
To support an enriched life for all, Erie Arts & Culture commits to championing policies and practices of cultural equity that empower a just, inclusive, and equitable region. We believe that equity is crucial to the long-term viability of both the arts and culture sector and communities-at-large. In support of this commitment, our grant categories have been aligned to reflect the values and strategic priorities of Erie Arts & Culture.
Grants are made possible by contributions made to the Erie Arts Endowment, Arts and Culture Campaign, and special events like Erie Gives Day. Projects which involve music performance and arts education have an enhanced pool of funds available thanks to donors who wished to ensure that these specific activities thrive in Erie County.

The deadline for proposals is Friday, November 5, 2021.
