Description
This grant, managed by United Arts of Central Florida in partnership with Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs, provides subsidies to nonprofit organizations to offset short-term venue rental costs for arts and cultural programming in publicly accessible Orange County venues. The initiative aims to elevate the quality and accessibility of exhibitions, performances, and festivals, with a focus on reaching diverse and underserved communities. Funding is intended strictly for venue rental and related venue-billed costs, not for staffing, artists, or unrelated expenses. Applicants may propose a single event or a season of programming.
