All applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts or cultural organizations that provide programs or activities within Scottsdale or for Scottsdale residents. Applicants must have a three-year history of programming prior to the application deadline.

The application process will open Wednesday, June 1, at 10 a.m., online at Submittable. Information, guidelines and the application link are available at ScottsdaleArts.org/about/community-arts-grant-program.
