Description
The Arts Access Grants, administered by the Delaware Division of the Arts, provide small project-based funding to support the presentation and cultivation of performing, visual, literary, media, or folk arts in communities across Delaware. The program is designed for organizations that present occasional arts programs or are not eligible for the Division’s General Operating Support and Project Support grants. The goal is to increase public access to the arts, foster lifelong learning, support new works, and celebrate Delaware’s diverse cultural traditions. Funding assists organizations in delivering high-quality arts programming, particularly for audiences with limited access to the arts.
