Artists and community organizations that offer arts programs and services, and that meet the eligibility requirements, are invited to apply. All grant-funded projects must take place within Everett city limits and be open to the general public.

“We are a creative and vibrant city thanks to the many artists that call Everett home. I’m happy we can once again offer this grant program to help expand access to the arts in our community,” said Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin. “I encourage all eligible artists and organizations to apply, and I look forward to the creative ideas and programs this amazing community will bring.”

In the past, grants have supported  a variety of programs and projects including youth arts education, neighborhood community art projects and live music performances.
