Eligible applicants include cultural institutions, non- and for-profit entities, educational institutions, neighborhood and community-based organizations, and individuals regularly doing work within the City and County of Denver. Applicants based outside Denver may participate through collaborative partnerships. City and County of Denver agencies are not eligible. An individual or entity cannot receive funding for the same project in a single calendar year; if already funded by Denver Arts & Venues for a 2026 project, you are ineligible for this cycle.
