Who We Are

The mission of ARTSConnect is to

enhance and expand access to the arts for everyone
provide resources to strengthen and stabilize arts organizations
position Topeka as an arts community.

Through your contributions to ARTSConnect, member arts organizations are provided unrestricted grants to offset operating costs.

Even in the best run arts organizations, ticket sales and admission prices will only cover two-thirds of the organization’s operating costs. The rest must be found elsewhere. 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.

ARTSConnect also offers grants to non-member arts organizations and other community organizations.

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.

ARTSConnect funds the priorities of the community.

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

Building a strong arts presence is important to the well being of the community.

Not only do the arts increase the quality of life in our community, they also have a significant impact o our local economy. For every dollar invested in the arts, $20 of economic activity is generated.
