Grant Program Description

Creativity Connects* is an initiative that will show how the arts are central to the country’s creativity ecosystem, investigate how support systems for the arts have changed, explore how the arts connect with other industries, and invest in innovative projects to spark new ideas for the arts field.

A key component to the Creativity Connects initiative is a pilot grant opportunity in the Art Works category to support partnerships between arts organizations and organizations from non-arts sectors that include, but are not limited to, business, education, environment, faith, finance, food, health, law, science, and technology.

Art Works: Creativity Connects grants will seek to benefit the arts and non-arts sectors by:

• Demonstrating the value of working with the arts.
• Supporting the infrastructure for the arts to work in new ways with new sectors.
• Building bridges that create new relationships and constituencies.
• Creating innovative partnership projects to advance common goals.
