ArtsActivate Program - Individual Artists Grant

The ArtsActivate Program aims to enhance community engagement in Dallas through artistic and cultural projects. By addressing gaps in cultural access, it invites non-profit organizations, social services, and individual artists to propose projects that foster an equitable and diverse arts ecosystem. The program emphasizes the importance of creativity in strengthening community ties and ensuring cultural inclusivity, with funding available for projects aligned with designated application dates.

If the Dallas Cultural Plan 2018 taught us anything, it was to engage the communities, neighborhoods, and residents of Dallas through meaningful artistic and cultural experiences. To continue to activate and encourage the intentional creative, artistic, and cultural impact on the residents of Dallas, ArtsActivate calls for arts and cultural projects by our Dallas arts and culture non-profit organizations, social service organizations, individual artists, and artist collectives to engage with communities, old and new, to provide a more equitable, diverse, and supportive arts ecosystem for the City of Dallas.
