Register Now for September 7 ARPA Grant Webinar

In spring 2023, a transformational $10 million investment of state American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for Oklahoma's arts and cultural sector was overwhelmingly advanced by the Oklahoma State Legislature and approved by the Governor. Submitted by the Oklahoma Arts Council in collaboration with regional partners Allied Arts OKC and Arts Alliance Tulsa, the funding proposal was designed to boost the rebuilding of the sector across all 77 counties while catapulting it forward as an asset for developing creative workforce and strengthening the economy. This fall, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with arts programming will be able to submit applications for Oklahoma Arts Sector ARPA Grants, made possible through the $10 million investment.

An overview of eligibility criteria, account set up, and required documents will be given by the Oklahoma Arts Council and partners during an informational webinar on Thursday, September 7, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.

Organizations are advised to register personnel with relevant grant writing, administration, and programming responsibilities to participate in this important webinar. Use the link below to register.
