Description
The Cultural Facilities Program, administered by the Florida Department of State’s Division of Arts and Culture, provides capital support for the renovation, construction, or acquisition of facilities used primarily for arts and cultural programming. Grants are intended for "bricks and mortar" projects that directly enhance the creation, presentation, or exhibition of the arts, including music, dance, theatre, literature, architecture, painting, sculpture, folk arts, photography, crafts, media arts, visual arts, and museum programs. The program aims to ensure public access to high-quality cultural spaces throughout Florida.
