Arts Capital

In 2021, the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation allocating $3,000,000 per year for five years (FY24-FY29) to be distributed as grants to eligible arts organizations. These funds, distributed through the Arts Capital grant, provide eligible organizations with state capital funding for projects that improve or produce a complete, usable, and accessible arts facility.

Arts Capital grants are offered to Maryland-based 501c-3 non-profit organizations with annual operating budgets below $3,000,000. Organizations must be open to the public and provide arts-based cultural education or experiences to be eligible.

A public information session for the Arts Capital Grant was held to provide an overview of the program’s priorities and address questions about how to apply to the program. Click here to access the recording of the latest "How to Apply" webinar on YouTube. 

"Capital Project Strategies for the Arts" was a four-part professional development series that offered guidance on topics, including understanding the characteristics and scope of capital projects, how size and complexity correlate to budget and timeline and more.
