Cultural Affairs Programs


2009/2010 Annual Grants
and Festival & Parade Grant Programs

The Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission and the Cultural Affairs Division of the City of Pasadena are pleased to announce the Annual Grants Program and the Festival and Parade Program Guidelines and application for 2009/2010. Applications must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 8, 2009 (this is not a postmark deadline).

New this year are some important changes regarding the program structure. In order to make smaller budget organizations more competitive, we have split the former Arts & Culture I category into two separate categories. There are no changes to large budget organizations. Also, there are now limits to the number of grants any one organization or individual can receive in one calendar year and limits to individual artists’ grants as once every five years. Our goal is to strengthen the cultural life of Pasadena so that you and your organization can focus on the important work of producing, designing, communicating, educating and celebrating.

Please see the details at 2009/2010 Grants Guidelines and Applications. If you have any questions, you may contact Cultural Affairs: 626.744.7062 or email: pkamiyama@cityofpasadena.net.

The Second Annual Cultural Nexus Summit was just held on March 5, 2008 and focused on creating the next phase of Pasadena's Cultural Nexus plan: Promoting Cultural Access & Inclusion in the Arts.   Information in English or Spanish

Funded programs include exhibitions, performance, and audience development adding the Pasadena’s rich and dynamic cultural fabric.

This year’s panelists reflected backgrounds in all artistic disciplines and represented renowned arts organizations.
