Announcing the 2013/2014 Annual Grants Program

The City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division announces the release of the 2013-2014 Annual Grants Program Guidelines and Applications.  The Annual Grants Program is designed to support the creative life of Pasadena through four grant categories and expand public access to the arts in our community.

Each year, the Annual Grants Program expands the community’s access to the arts by recognizing outstanding projects and programs proposed by Pasadena’s cultural institutions, artists, and art educators.  Projects span the community, including every Council district and many PUSD schools, and reach audiences of more than 200,000.

Funding supports the work of individual artists, brings the creative process into classrooms, supports the sustained growth of Pasadena’s cultural institutions, and encourages festivals and cultural presentations that celebrate the community.
