Description
This grant provides general program support for Florida-based arts and cultural organizations—both public entities and non-profit, tax-exempt corporations—to sustain and enhance their ongoing cultural programming and activities. Unlike project-specific grants, this funding is intended to help organizations conduct, create, produce, present, stage, or sponsor cultural exhibits, performances, educational programs, or events, and to provide professional services as a State Service Organization or Local Arts Agency. The program encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including dance, literature, media arts, museums, music, theatre, traditional arts, and visual arts. Four proposal types are available: discipline-based, Local Arts Agency, State Service Organization, and Arts in Education, each with specific eligibility criteria.
