Description
This program provides up to $2,500 per calendar year to nonprofit organizations, fiscally-sponsored groups, municipalities, and Tribal governments in King County, Washington, to help hire performing artists from the 4Culture Touring Arts Roster. The grant reimburses artist fees for eligible performances at free or low-cost public events, aiming to broaden community access to live arts and advance equity in cultural funding. The initiative is part of 4Culture’s broader strategy to reinvest public funds from King County’s hotel/motel sales tax into the local cultural sector, with a focus on serving historically underserved communities.
