Notice of Funding Availability Culver City Performing Arts Grant Program

The City of Culver City offers grants to support theatre, dance, and music performances. This program brings performing arts events to the community and helps make them accessible to everyone. Culver City wants everyone to have a chance to experience and enjoy the arts. Our grants support a variety of cultural experiences for Culver City's residents, businesses, artists, and visitors.

Performing arts organizations of all sizes are encouraged to apply. To be eligible for consideration, applicants must have a mission that is focused on performance, be based in Los Angeles County, and be a current 501(c)(3) organization or have an agreement with a fiscal receiver. Public performances from January to December 2025 are eligible to apply.

The amount of grant funding available is dependent upon the total deposits made into the City's Cultural Trust Fund each fiscal year, allocated by City Council as part of the Art in Public Places Program. Additionally, the Performing Arts Grant Program is supported by a contribution from Sony Pictures Entertainment.
