The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA) announces the Communities Thrive Organizational Project Grant to support small and mid-sized arts organizations in the production and presentation of artistic works accessible to the general public within the City of Baltimore. The grant supports the production of projects in the arts and culture disciplines of performing arts, media arts, visual arts, literary arts, and on-line arts projects. Applicants may apply for a $5,000 or $10,000 project for FY22 (defined as arts activities taking place in Baltimore City between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022). Applications are open now and due by Friday, May 7, 2021.
The Communities Thrive Organizational Project Grant is made possible with the support of the Maryland State Arts Council.
