The Office of Arts & Culture is excited to share that the Regional Arts & Culture Council’s Portland Arts Project Grant Program is open for submissions through September 24, 2025!
The program is available to support the making and sharing of artistic work and the development of Portland’s arts community. Individual artists, arts organizations, arts businesses, and other nonprofits are eligible to apply for grant funding to support their arts programs and activities—presentations, events, or artistic development opportunities that are shared with the public. Applicants can request up to $5,000.
The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) is one of three grantmaking contractors that the Office of Arts & Culture partners with as part of its Small Grants Program. The office’s other Small Grant Program grantmaking contractors are MusicOregon and Friends of IFCC.
This year, for fiscal year 2025-26, Arts & Culture provided $1,200,000 to be distributed via RACC for its Portland Arts Project Grants. Last year, for fiscal year 2024-25, the Arts & Culture provided RACC with the same amount, which was then awarded to 275 Portland-based grantees—185 individual artists and 90 arts organizations. Funds for this program are sourced from the City of Portland’s General Fund and the Arts Access Fund, powered by the Arts Tax.
