Arts grants with open deadlines

24 currently open · refreshed daily

Federal arts funding runs primarily through the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional opportunities from IMLS (museums), NEH (when projects have a humanities angle), and embassy cultural programs at the State Department. Federal arts grants typically fund organizations rather than individual artists — individual funding mostly lives at state arts councils and private foundations, which this database will add next. NEA awards usually require a 1:1 match, so budget for that before applying. The listings below are every arts opportunity currently open on grants.gov, sorted by what closes soonest.
