  • Applicant must provide by electronic attachment a copy of the most recent 990 tax form.
  • Applicant must provide by electronic attachment copies of 2020, 2021, and proposed 2022 budgets, for both the organization at large and your proposed project. We strongly advise that you create a single PDF document containing all required budgets (one for the organization, and one for your project) and that you ensure any uploaded documents will print clearly. This accelerates the application and review process.

Important Notes

The Art in the Square Executive Board will closely monitor and follow all COVID-19 related requirements as set forth by local, county, state, and federal health agencies. We are optimistic that it will be possible to have a festival in late April. The final decision will be made by the end of January 2022. If we are able to have a festival, it will most likely look different than those held in recent years and we anticipate the amount of money raised will be less. Please keep this in mind when requesting your grant. Thank you.

Due to the number of applications we receive, we require you to carefully follow all guidelines to be eligible for consideration. Any applications that are not in compliance with these guidelines will not be reviewed.

Grant applications open on December 1st, 2021 and close on January 16th, 2022. Grant selection and notification take place in February. The exact amount of each grant will be determined after the event in April. Checks will be mailed by the end of June.

Selected beneficiaries will be assigned six Art in the Square volunteer slots at notification.
