Are you working on a creative project?
Apply for a 4Culture project grant
4Culture Project grants fund cultural activities and projects throughout King County. If you are an individual or group working on a project with arts, heritage, or historic preservation at its heart, please consider applying.
Apply
Applications will be accepted through March 23, 2023 at 5 pm PDT through 4Culture’s online application system. You will need to create an account to apply. We encourage you create an account as soon as you know you plan to apply for a grant.
The guidelines, a detailed explanation of how to apply, and the application are in English. If this is a barrier that stops you from understanding the grant or applying due to limited English writing ability, visual impairment, or you would like to request assistance to create an application, please contact hello@4culture.org or call (206) 296-7580 or TTY 711, and we will make sure you get the support you need.
Art Projects
