Small investments can have big impacts. A new monthly small awards initiative, smART ventures is intended to create access for individuals and groups not served by our other funding programs. We've designed smART ventures to be flexible, inclusive and simple. You can apply anytime with an innovative idea or one-time opportunity. The program provides support ranging from $500 to $1,000 with the goal of expanding arts and cultural participation, particularly among diverse and underserved communities.

Before applying, you must have your proposal idea reviewed by one of our staff. Read the program guidelines, short application and frequently asked questions. Then contact Paul Rucker, who will connect you with a project manager to get started.
