Description
Arts Access Grants are designed to support the presentation of performing, visual, literary, media, or folk arts within communities across Delaware. These grants target organizations that offer occasional arts programming or do not qualify for the Division’s General Operating Support or Project Support categories. The program aims to encourage the creation, presentation, and appreciation of diverse art forms, foster collaborations between artists and community groups, reach underserved audiences, and promote lifelong learning and cultural expression in both traditional and non-traditional venues.
