Proposed 2021-2022 projects range from marketplaces to edible artscapes to painted planters and utility boxes representing Indigenous and Chicano history.
Denver Arts & Venues has announced the 2021-2022 P.S. You Are Here grantees.
In 2014, Arts & Venues launched P.S. You Are Here (PSYAH), a grant program supporting neighborhood-based community-led projects that activate outdoor public spaces, build civic engagement, honor heritage, beautify neighborhoods, and enrich communities. In response to the pandemic, PSYAH funds were diverted in 2020 to several grant programs supporting artists and organizations impacted financially by COVID-19. In 2021, however, Arts & Venues reinstated the PSYAH grant program and has selected 14 grantees for a total of $120,000 in grants of up to $10,000 each.
"After pivoting funding in 2020 towards art and cultural relief and recovery funding, we are thrilled to be able to bring this grant program back," said Denver Arts & Venues Cultural Affairs Program Manager, Lisa Gedgaudas. "This year we are providing funding to 14 organizations and artists, the largest group of grantees and the largest amount of funding since the program started in 2014. These community-driven beautification projects generate creative urban design solutions and localized arts and cultural experiences."
Proposed 2021-2022 projects range from marketplaces to edible artscapes to painted planters and utility boxes representing Indigenous and Chicano history, and will engage residents and visitors in neighborhoods across the city.
"These small grants provide opportunities for neighborhoods to bring art into our parks, alleys, streets and sidewalks to better connect neighbors and community members through collaboration and participation," said Denver Public Art Program Administrator, Brendan Picker. "These incremental improvements can be refined and supported over the years to help us continue to strengthen our public spaces and our sense of community."
