Grants to California artists in eligible locations to develop and present high-quality, publicly accessible works of art throughout the local area. Funding is intended for new works in any discipline, and events must be open to the public. Artists working in folk and traditional arts are encouraged to apply. Artist projects and the majority of activities must take place in San Francisco and benefit a San Francisco audience.
Creation of work and a related public event to present work may be in-person or virtual due to COVID-19 restrictions. Applicants may use the approved funds to cover the entire project or part of a larger project. Projects may include collaborations, but the individual who applies for the grant and is approved for funding will receive the grant award.
