The Santa Barbara County Arts Commission is currently accepting Community Arts Enrichment Grants for its fall cycle, with a deadline of Sept. 30. This is the Commission’s sixth grant cycle since the grants program was developed in 2012 through a partnership with the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation.
Community Arts Enrichment (CAE) grants are allocated to new and innovative projects that leverage community resources through collaboration. Programs that attract diverse participation are also favored. Grant applications are reviewed by a panel of County Arts Commissioners from the 2nd, 4th, and 5th supervisor districts, as well as a member of the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation and Arts Commission staff.
Applications are for requests of $500 to $5,000. Grant information is available at www.sbartscommission.org/grants/CAE_grants.html. More information is available at 568-3990 or sbartscommission.org.
