Since 2018, the Arts Build Community grant has supported innovative, public art projects that inspire diverse groups of participants to be more active, involved, and civically-engaged by creating together. Funded projects must be free and open to the public, and include some aspect of community engagement. Grants range from $1,000-2,500.

“Public art” shall be defined as any permanent or temporary work of art created or led by artists or craftspeople. The project or event must be located in a space that is accessible for the public to experience. Public art can include, but is not limited to: murals, sculpture, community art, digital new media, and performances and festivals as long as it is open to the public.
