What is the Artists Respond grant?
The Artists Respond grant program awards funds to Connecticut artists for community-based projects that range from large audience events to small group activities. Artist-led projects use the arts to inspire, empower, educate, and transform Connecticut communities.
Connecticut artists may apply for a grant of $3,000 to support artist fees and project-related expenses.
The projects must occur in Connecticut and be led by the artist/applicant. Artists may partner with nonprofits and business entities, but the project must be the work of the artists, not the nonprofit or business.
Projects should thoughtfully engage the community. Be sure to consider community needs, social issues and current events.
