Through competitive grant programs like the Project Support Grant, ArtsGreensboro invests in high-quality arts experiences that further its strategic priorities of access, inclusion and equity. Funded in part by the North Carolina Arts Council’s Grassroots Program and by the generosity of foundations, corporations, and individual donors through the ArtsGreensboro’s Annual Campaign the Project Support Grants are intended to support the creation and/or presentation of programming with high artistic merit that demonstrate defined and measurable outcomes, including impact on the community. Programs that increase access to the arts, engage the community, and enrich the varied cultural vitality of Greater Greensboro. Arts education experiences that inspire and engage students (including life-long learning), enhance curriculum, and result in increased knowledge and skills in the arts. Multicultural project grants are encouraged.
