Through your contributions to ARTSConnect, member arts organizations are provided unrestricted grants to offset operating costs.  By providing a predictable source of operating funds, ARTSConnect strengthens the organizations and allows them to keep ticket and admission prices as low as possible, making performances more accessible to the broader community.  Allocation decisions are made each year following the ARTSConnect workplace and individual campaign in the spring.  

In addition, any organization wishing to sponsor a one-time, short-term arts-related project or program may apply for a grant from ARTSConnect.  Through its grant program, ARTSConnect helps bring more arts opportunities to the community.  The grant application will be available on this web site after July 1 of each year.

All allocation and grant decisions are made by a volunteer committee comprised of people like you – business and community representatives.
