The Investing in Artists: Artistic Innovation grant program supports Bay Area artists who are developing new work in the performing or media arts that pushes the envelope of their creative process, explores new artistic collaborations, and/or supports artistic growth and experimentation that extends the boundaries of their art-making.

For the 2026 round, applicants must reside full-time in Marin, Napa, Solano, or Sonoma County when applying and for the duration of the grant period (June 2026 - June 2027). Applications are now open! Submit yours by March 27 at 11:59 AM (morning) PT.
