COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT SUPPORTING ARTISTS AND COMMUNITY-ENGAGED ART PROJECTS ARE CRITICAL TO FOSTERING A VIBRANT, MORE CONNECTED SOCIETY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING GRANTS THAT SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTISTS AND CREATIVES AND THEIR COMMUNITY-ENGAGED PROJECTS. ONE OF OUR PRIMARY INITIATIVES IS OUR ARTISTS & CREATIVES GRANTS, WHICH AWARDS FUNDING TO THOSE PARTICULARLY IN MINORITY OR LGBTQ COMMUNITIES MAKING OR PRESENTING CREATIVE WORK RELATING TO OR ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THESE PROJECTS ARE DIVERSE AND IMPACTFUL, SUCH AS PUBLIC MURALS THAT EXPRESS A COMMUNITY'S VOICE, VIDEOS AND PHOTOS THAT CAPTURE A COMMUNITY'S STORIES, AND INNOVATIVE WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS WHERE COMMUNITIES CAN CONNECT THROUGH SHARED CREATIVE EXPERIENCES. IN 2025, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AWARDED 46 ARTISTS/CREATIVES WITH INDIVIDUAL GRANTS OF UP TO $2,500 EACH. SINCE OUR INCEPTION, WE HAVE AWARDED INDIVIDUAL GRANTS TO OVER 250 ARTISTS AND CREATIVES IN ITS COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING MANY WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY HAD LESS ACCESS TO TRADITIONAL ARTS FUNDING. THESE TALENTED INDEPENDENT CREATIVES AND ARTIST COLLECTIVES ARE PRESENTING ART THAT ENGAGES COMMUNITIES IN NEW, DISTINCT AND IMAGINATIVE WAYS. 112300 116880 THE CREATIVES-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GRAND CENTRAL ART CENTER, REDEFINES ARTIST RESIDENCIES BY EMBEDDING CREATIVES WITHIN LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES TO FOSTER COLLABORATION BETWEEN ARTISTS, FAMILIES, AND NEIGHBORS THROUGH CREATIVE PLACEMAKING.
