Project Grants support single art projects such as an art exhibit, a theater production, a series of workshops for children, or an artist residency. Applicants can also apply for capacity building projects, such as developing a strategic plan, creating a development plan, or providing professional development.
General Operating Support Grants provide general operating support for
nonprofit arts organizations based in Georgia.
Arts Education Program Grants support arts programs delivered to K-12 students in a variety of disciplines, including visual art, music, theater, dance, media arts, and creative writing.
Vibrant Communities Grants support single arts programs in Georgia’s rural communities, including performances, exhibitions, artist residencies, workshops, murals, public art, art festivals, and capacity-building projects. These grants are available only to organizations located in counties that did not receive an FY27 grant during the first funding round. View a list of eligible counties here.
Cultural Facilities Grants provide support for the renovation, restoration, preservation or acquisition of an arts facility, and the purchase of equipment that supports arts programs.
Supporting Arts Across Georgia
Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) grants support arts projects and organizations of all kinds – big and small, new and established – across Georgia. Each year, grants go to both first-time applicants and long-standing recipients, and all eligible applicants are encouraged to apply. Grants are supported by appropriations from the Georgia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts.
