The Artist Outreach Project gives accomplished visual, performing and literary artists the opportunity to help under-served members of our community.

Artists awarded the grant receive $12,000 and a budget for materials to pursue a 12-month project. Artists will determine the arts programming they wish to provide, identify the population they are interested in serving, and choose a local nonprofit to collaborate with.

Artists contribute 6 hours each week to the population they choose to serve. Smaller grants will be considered for artists who wish to contribute less time.

To be eligible, artists must be 55 or older and live in or plan to serve people in Orange County, South West Los Angeles County,or North San Diego County.
