Arts Council - City Arts Grants

The City Arts Grants program is designed to provide financial support for arts programs and projects in Salt Lake City that merit public funding. There are five City Arts Grants Categories, each with its own eligibility standards, guidelines, and review criteria.

The Salt Lake City Arts Council board members appreciate the hard work and creative spirit of the arts community and are strong advocates for support through the City Arts Grants program. Because City Arts Grants are supported with public tax dollars, the board places a priority on those programs that best reflect the Arts Council's mission and serve the residents of Salt Lake City. City Arts Grants can support only those programs and projects which take place within Salt Lake City limits.
