The City of Bryan’s Arts and Culture Development Grant, funded through Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) revenues collected within Bryan, Texas, provides organizations with financial support for programs and projects that develop and elevate the arts and culture in the community and directly enhance and promote Bryan as a tourism destination.
Generally, grant amounts received through this grant will range from $2,500 to $25,000 based on a recommendation from the Arts and Culture Development Grant Review Committee.
Applications must be submitted by Jan. 12, 2024 through the online application portal. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
Who is eligible?
Programs and projects that develop and elevate the arts and culture in Bryan and enhance and promote Bryan as a tourism destination are eligible. This may include instrumental and vocal music, dance, drama, folk art, creative writing, architecture, design and allied fields, painting, sculpture, photography, graphic and craft arts, motion pictures, radio, television, tape and sound recording, and other arts related to the presentation, execution, and exhibition of these major art forms.
Programs and projects that provide the most impact to Bryan will be prioritized to receive funding.
While applicants are not required to have matching funds for their program or project, a diverse base of financial support (private giving, public funding, additional grants, etc.) is highly encouraged.
The intent of this grant is to provide funds to initiate or complete an arts and culture program or project, and not to be used as ongoing funding to maintain or finance the operations of an organization. Priority will be given to projects which clearly show ongoing, future financial sustainability or are indicated as a one-time expense.
