City Artists is being developed as a future funding opportunity for individual artists and cultural practitioners. The program is intended to expand direct support for artists as part of Creative City’s focus on centering artists, creatives, and the conditions that help creative practice thrive.

Applications are not currently open. Final program purpose, eligibility, award amounts, application structure, review criteria, timeline, and applicant support resources are being developed. This page will be updated before a City Artists opportunity opens.
