About grants for arts

Arts grants support visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, cultural preservation, and creative organizations. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is the flagship federal funder, distributing over $160 million annually. State arts councils, foundations like the Andy Warhol Foundation and Mellon Foundation, and corporate sponsors provide extensive additional funding.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow grants for arts down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

How do I apply for an NEA grant?

The NEA offers grants through multiple programs including Art Works, Challenge America, Our Town, and Research: Art Works. Applications are submitted through Grants.gov. Most require 501(c)(3) status or government affiliation. The NEA funds in specific disciplines (dance, design, literature, media arts, music, theater, visual arts) with distinct application cycles.

Can individual artists get grants?

The NEA's direct individual grants are limited to Literature Fellowships and honorary awards. However, many state arts councils, foundations (Pollock-Krasner, United States Artists, Creative Capital), and residency programs provide direct artist funding. Fiscal sponsorship through organizations like Fractured Atlas opens additional grant opportunities for individual artists.

Are there grants for community arts programs?

Yes. The NEA's Our Town program funds creative placemaking. State and regional arts councils heavily fund community programming. Foundations like ArtPlace America, the Kresge Foundation, and local community foundations support community arts. CDBG funds can support arts-based community development projects.
