The deadline for Arts Commission grants is 5 p.m. April 2.

Grants of up to $1,000 are available for nonprofit organizations that “cultivate a community in which residents appreciate the value of personal and collective artistic activity; to encourage collaboration in and diversification of artistic activities that include participants from across the community; to enhance and support a high level of artistry; and to
support the economic vitality and interests of local artists and arts organizations,” according to the website.

The Arts Commission will offer a drop-in workshop for potential applicants at 4 p.m. March 21 in City Hall.

Individuals are encouraged to bring questions, as well as draft applications, to the session. The drop-in workshop is first-come, first-served.
