LMCC Manhattan Arts Grants Applications Now Open From Harlem To The Houston


Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) announces applications are now open for the 2024 Manhattan Arts Grants supporting arts projects across Manhattan.

LMCC’s Manhattan Arts Grants celebrate the importance of the arts to a resilient New York City and contribute to the sustainability of our diverse communities that call Manhattan home. In 2023, LMCC awarded over $1.7 million in support of 340 projects across the borough by individual artists, groups, and organizations.

This year, LMCC continues to offer an accessible, streamlined application process for Manhattan-based artists and organizations for their public-facing arts programming in 2024. With funds provided by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone and the Howard Gilman Foundation, Manhattan Arts Grants offer access to four sources of funding through one single application form with grants between $4,000 and $16,000. It is a great year to apply!

The application deadline is Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 5 pm EST.

The maximum grant is $16,000, and projects must take place in Manhattan in 2024.
