The Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission and the Cultural Affairs Division announce the release of the 2014/2015 Annual Grants Program Application and Guidelines. The Annual Grants Program is designed to support the creative life of Pasadena through four grant categories. The Program expands public access to the arts in our community by supporting the work of the individual artist, bringing the creative process into the classroom, funding annual festivals and parades and the programs and planning of our cultural institutions.

It is recommended that ALL applicants attend at least one of the Technical Assistance/Grant-writing workshops offered. Attendance is MANDATORY for all first-time applicants, and those who have not applied since the 2009/2010 cycle, to be eligible to apply.

Each workshop will be partially conducted by Susan Braig, a professional grant-writing consultant.

RSVP to Cultural Affairs Division at (626)744-7062. Grant Guidelines and Applications can be accessed here: http://www.cityofpasadena.net/Arts/Grant_Programs/
