Arts for Neighborhood Vitality — Festivals and Events Funding <br />The Arts for Neighborhood Vitality grant was founded to support small, neighborhood -centered, <br />publicly accessible art walks and festivals where art and culture are main components. Projects <br />should be an event—rather than an ongoing program—and should highlight the integration of <br />arts and economic vitality of the specific neighborhood. Applicants may not apply for multiple <br />grants from the Arts Commission to support the same project. Grants are awarded directly to the <br />applicant or fiscal sponsor responsible for managing the project and the budget. <br />Tucson, AZ — Tucson Pima Arts Council (Tucsonpimaartscouncil.org) <br />PeoDle.

In 2015 PLACE VI grants focused on Festival, <br />Heritage and Community celebrations that occur within Tucson or Pima County. PLACE VI <br />builds upon the agency's ongoing PLACE Initiative, an arts -based civic engagement platform <br />designed to encourage community cultural development activities, creating a sense of social <br />belonging and civic well-being. <br />PLACE VI highlights and supports the region's informal art and/or heritage practices that exist in <br />a neighborhood and builds a greater awareness of our region's distinctness and identity. It <br />strives to enhance one's understanding of the common good and provides a place for <br />community engagement. It encourages individuals to interact <br />to achieve common purpose that enlivens a healthy, just and vibrant civil society. <br />Projects could take the form of arts festivals, public programs or projects, including civic <br />engagement practices embedded in folk life, heritage practices and neighborhood cultural <br />activities <br />Creative Economic Development <br />Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs: (http://Culturela.org) <br />http://culturela. org/grants-and-calls/crea tive-economic-development-fund/ <br />Creative Economic Development Fund <br />With support from the Surdna Foundation, the Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) and the City <br />of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) have partnered together to create the <br />Creative Economic Development Fund (CEDF).
