In response to the negative impact of the pandemic on the arts in Edmonds, the City of Edmonds Arts Commission has funded one-time grants for Edmonds-based non-profit arts organizations and artists in the 2021 budget.
According to a city announcement, the purpose of this new grant program was “to help build and reinforce a diverse, accessible and equitable cultural community in Edmonds, recognizing the uncertainty and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the necessity of changing strategies to create access for all to the arts.”
Seeking to support creativity, diversity and inclusive access to arts in the community, two categories of grants were offered: small grants of up to $1,000 for individual artists and other smaller organizations, and large grants of up to $10,000, which required a local nonprofit or a partnership with one for eligibility.
