Description
Community Arts Project Support (CAPS) is a grant program offered by the West Virginia Department of Arts Culture and History. It supports community arts projects that provide arts programming to the public, with funding available to local governments and 501(c)(3) organizations. The program covers all artistic disciplines rather than focusing on a single art form.
CAPS centers on public-facing arts activity: the project must offer programming for public audiences. Its broad disciplinary scope brings different kinds of arts programming within one community project support program, linking support for project work with opportunities for the public to engage with the arts.
