Description
The JCS Arts, Health & Education Grant Program, administered by the DuPage Foundation, funds locally-developed visual arts and music projects that benefit DuPage County, Illinois. The Visual Arts and Music Mini-Grant program is designed to spark creativity and foster community engagement through support for exhibitions, community murals, pop-up galleries, master classes, cultural heritage projects, and music programs for children and instrumental ensembles. The goal is to increase excitement and access to the arts within the local community, particularly for projects that have not previously received DuPage Foundation funding.
