National Endowment for the Arts Our Town grant program

The Community Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) and the Montana Main Street Program would like to pass along the following information about the National Endowment for the Arts Our Town grant program. The upcoming application deadline is September 12, 2016.

The Our Town grant program supports creative placemaking projects that help to transform communities into lively, beautiful, and resilient places with the arts at their core. Creative placemaking is when artists, arts organizations, and community development practitioners deliberately integrate arts and culture into community revitalization work – placing arts at the table with land-use, transportation, economic development, education, housing, infrastructure, and public safety strategies. This funding supports local efforts to enhance quality of life and opportunity for existing residents, increase creative activity, and create a distinct sense of place.
