Cultural facilities, including performing arts centers, museums, and workshop and rehearsal spaces, create visibility for the arts and function as community gathering places. They provide cultural opportunities for residents and visitors, economic vitality to neighborhoods and surrounding businesses, and homes for artists and arts groups.
The Cultural Facilities Program is a new, pilot program to support Seattle-based organizations dealing with urgent-need, facilities-based capital projects. The program awards one-time funding to Seattle arts, heritage, cultural and arts service organizations with projects such as facility renovations or completing the final phase of new facilities.
The majority of funding for the facility's project beyond this grant must be in place before applying. Eligible organizations must have at least a three-year operating history as a legally established not-for-profit organization, have control of the facility through ownership or a longer-term lease, and demonstrate a record of ongoing artistic or cultural accomplishments in Seattle. Projects must be able to take place and be completed between September 2012 and December 2013.
In 2012, $155,250 was awarded to 14 organizations for facility projects with grant awards ranging from $5,000 to $25,000.
