Grant Program
The RMAC grant program offers grants to individuals, organizations and community groups for arts and culture projects and events that serve the general public in Renton. We encourage innovative projects by artists and communities that fill in cultural gaps and inspire new forms of creative participation, particularly for under-served groups.
These flexible grants are designed to create access for individuals and groups not served by our annual Community Arts Support Program.
The application deadline is rolling and request for funding will be reviewed by the Grants Committee and brought before the Commission the first Tuesday of each month.
Please review the Grant Guidelines for more information and funding restrictions.
