Program Phase II. The A.R.T. Program Phase II is a competitive grant program for nonprofit organizations aimed at catalyzing community placemaking efforts by leveraging the arts and cultural sector as a creative force for change.

Funding will support the creation of public space activation initiatives, such as placemaking projects, public art installations, and arts-based projects, in the downtowns of 31 select municipalities whose commercial corridors have been significantly impacted by reduced commuter traffic due to COVID-19. Join this session for an overview of the program, eligibility, the application process, and more. There will be time for questions at the end of the session.
