Description
4Culture, King County’s cultural services agency, funds cultural activities and experiences through three Project Grants disciplines: Art Projects, Heritage Projects, and Preservation Special Projects. The program helps individuals and groups put cultural ideas into motion and share their work with King County residents and visitors.
Art Projects supports creative work in any medium, including new artwork and interpretations of existing work. Heritage Projects supports documentation, exhibitions, publications, oral histories, and programs sharing the county’s histories, traditions, and knowledge. Preservation Special Projects supports research, documentation, planning, education, and advocacy concerning historic buildings, sites, neighborhoods, and landscapes. Each discipline has its own eligibility rules and review criteria, with accessible public benefit central to all three.
