The Living Cultures Grant seeks to sustain and strengthen traditional arts in the state of California with $7,500 grants to individual artists/culture bearers and $10,000 grants to California-based nonprofits and Tribal Nations, as well as other organizations and community groups.
Through this grant program, ACTA supports nurturing cultural continuity, sustaining cultural practices, and engaging our own communities and others through public programs. Projects involving any genre of traditional arts—including but not limited to dance, music, foodways, material arts, and oral traditions—are welcome.
