2008-09 Community Arts Grant Awards		Print This Page Email This Page

The Scottsdale Cultural Council's Community Arts Grants Program provides funding for Scottsdale-based arts and cultural organizations as well as to Valley arts organizations for projects that take place in the Scottsdale community to promote long-term growth in Scottsdale's arts community and to meet short-term funding needs.

The Scottsdale Cultural Council has made some changes in grant guidelines for the 2008-2009 Community Arts Grant Program.  For the first time, there are two grant categories:  projects and general operating support.  General Operating Support grants are designed to support Scottsdale-based organizations whosemissions are primarily the arts.

The Scottsdale Cultural Council, a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is contracted by the City of Scottsdale, Arizona, to administer certain City arts and cultural projects and to manage the City-owned Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and Scottsdale Public Art Program. The programs of the Scottsdale Cultural Council are made possible, in part, by the support of members and donors and grants received from the Arizona Commission on the Arts through appropriations from the Arizona State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
