The United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County accepts Projects Pool Grants Program applications from Chautauqua County organizations and individual artists for a maximum $500 award. The next grants cycle begins in early 2024.
Eligible organizations must have not-for-profit status and may include libraries, municipalities, churches, and other community groups.
An artist who has been a Chautauqua County resident for at least one year and works in any artistic discipline, including but not limited to crafts, dance, film, fiction, poetry, printmaking, sculpture, painting, video, play writing, performance, music composition and photography, may apply.
