Pennsylvania Council on the Arts

The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts is the official state arts agency, working to strengthen the cultural, educational, and economic vitality of Pennsylvania through the arts. It distributes state and federal arts funding across the Commonwealth.

The council awards grants for arts programming, arts education, and organizational support, along with fellowships that recognize and support individual artists. Its funding reaches nonprofit organizations, schools, communities, and artists statewide, including efforts to expand access to the arts.

Awards are made through competitive review, with eligibility and amounts defined per program. Arts organizations and artists can find current Pennsylvania Council on the Arts opportunities and deadlines on Atom.
