The deadline to apply for a city of Peoria 2024-25 arts and culture grant is Monday, May 6.
This is an opportunity for nonprofit arts organizations and Peoria-based creative sector businesses to apply for financial support for programs, performances and events that inspire, enhance, and support the pursuit of creative endeavors in Peoria.
There are new categories this year including Peoria-based arts organizations and emerging entrepreneurs in the creative sector.
The “theatre” category has expanded to include spoken word and performance art.
For the first time, community events and HOAs can also apply during this new funding cycle. Unlike previous years when funding was awarded on a rolling cycle, this year’s event and HOA applications must be submitted within the grant cycle.
Peoria’s arts grant program started in 1998. The grant applications are reviewed and scored by a panel of arts commission members, Peoria residents, and art professionals.
The grants must be used between Sept. 1, 2024 and May 30, 2025.
