Arts Grants

Funding Resources and Solutions

The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs has announced three grant funding opportunities intended to help put Iowa’s arts, culture, history, and creative sector back to work and launch innovative humanities programming.

The Iowa Arts Council will administer American Rescue Plan Arts Grants for individual artists and organizations, made possible by an appropriation from the National Endowment for the Arts to the department, through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

The Iowa Arts Council will also administer the American Rescue Plan Humanities grants and Humanities Project Grants, both made possible by appropriations from the National Endowment for the Humanities to the department and by funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

Check the calendar often for additional funding opportunities provided by the department and other organizations.
