Grants to Artists and Arts Organizations

Nine artists and sixteen organizations received grants from the City of Cincinnati’s 2007 Individual Artist Grant Program and Small Arts Organization Grant Program. The grants help support activities such as exhibitions of visual art, performing arts productions, literary arts and music programs, a music festival, and interdisciplinary workshops in creative writing, visual arts and storytelling for residents of five low-income, inner-city neighborhoods.

The City of Cincinnati has offered grant programs for Cincinnati-based artists and arts and cultural organizations of all sizes since 1989. In 2007 and 2008, the City’s Small Arts Organization Grant Program and Major Arts and Cultural Organization Grant Program are funded by a two-year donation from the Carol Ann & Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation in partnership with the Fine Arts Fund. The City’s Individual Artist Grant Program , one of only two artist grant programs in Cincinnati, is funded by City dollars. The Department of Community Development is the City’s administrative agent for the arts grant programs. For more information about the City’s arts grant programs, call 352-4985.
