Deadline is 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 13, 2023
RENTON, WA –Renton Municipal Arts Commission announces the opening of applications for the 2024 Arts &
Culture Grants, inviting individuals, organizations, and community groups to bring their creative visions to life
for the enrichment of Renton residents and visitors.
The Arts & Culture Grants initiative is a catalyst for community-driven artistic endeavours, fostering a deeper
connection to the arts and heritage among the people of Renton. Embracing the vibrancy of Renton's cultural
mosaic, the commission welcomes inventive projects that celebrate diversity, enhance individual and societal
understanding, and ignite fresh avenues of artistic engagement. Special attention is given to projects that
empower underserved communities.
These grants support a diverse range of artistic programming, encompassing compelling art exhibitions,
emotionally resonant concerts, enthralling dance performances, vibrant festivals, educational workshops,
thought-provoking readings, and engaging theater productions.
Applicants have the chance to secure grants of up to $10,000, with a single grant per calendar year for each
eligible applicant.
In 2024, the grant application process will include four distinct funding rounds. The deadline for the first round
is set for October 13, 2023, at 4:30 p.m., with a primary emphasis on projects and events scheduled for
January through March 2024.
For the year 2023, applicants can apply for grants during three cycles, with deadlines falling on February 2,
April 19, and July 19.
For additional support and insights, the Renton Municipal Arts Commission will host two drop-in Q&A sessions.
Join us on Monday, September 25, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., and Tuesday, October 10, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at
the Renton Library. These sessions provide an informal opportunity to connect with the grant committee, seek
clarity, and engage with other applicants. No pre-registration is required; simply bring your questions.

to Jessie Kotarski, the City of Renton’s Economic Development Manager, at 425-430-7271 or
