 2012 ArtsWave Impact-Based Grantmaking Applications and Processes
ArtsWave is launching a collaborative effort with the arts sector to measure the positive impact that theatres, festivals, museums, concerts and more have on our community. Working together with our arts partners, we are gathering data that demonstrates how a lively arts scene creates vibrant neighborhoods and brings people together. Beginning with this 2012 grantmaking cycle, arts groups will provide this data in their grant applications as part of ArtsWave's new, impact-based grantmaking model.

2012-2013 Project Grants
For those organizations that choose not to participate in ArtsWave's impact-based grantmaking model, there remains an opportunity to apply for a Project Grant to support a special, one-time event that complements or expands upon the regular cultural programming of the applying organization. Any organization not receiving ArtsWave Impact-Based Grantmaking support is eligible to apply.

Interest Free Loans
Interest free loans up to $10,000 are available to small and mid-sized arts organizations for demonstrated short-term, cash flow needs.
