City of Santa Ana allocates $70,000 in grant opportunities to artists and art organizations - Apply by May 31, 2019

The City of Santa Ana is now accepting applications for the Investing in the Artist Grant 2019-2020!

The arts in Santa Ana have enriched our lives by allowing us to express ourselves in new ways; to connect through stories of a shared past and present and an imagined future; and to envision the world from a different perspective. For the funding cycle of 2019-2020, the City of Santa Ana has allocated $70,000 and invites artists and art organizations/ to use a variety of mediums (Visual Arts, Music, Theater, Writing, Poetry, Music, Dance, Fashion, and Culinary) to involve older community members in the arts experience by: 1) providing opportunities for learning and skill-building for those either new to the arts in later life or those professionals who seek to continue to grow as they age in their craft; 2) integrating arts practices into health care settings for their therapeutic benefits of social engagement, skill-building, and increasing self-esteem through self-expression and understanding; and/or 3) using the arts and design to build communities that are accessible and engaging for people of all ages and abilities. in

The Santa Ana Arts and Culture Commission supports projects that will enrich and invigorate the City of Santa Ana’s arts and culture landscape, improve the quality of life for its residents, and stimulate its economic development.
