Rural Arts Opportunity Grants
This funding opportunity provides financial support to nonprofit organizations, local governments, and public libraries in select rural Oklahoma counties to enhance arts programming and infrastructure in underserved communities.
The Oklahoma Arts Council offers Rural Arts Opportunity Grants to support capacity building, professional development activities, and learning-based or audience-based arts programs in select rural counties. The grants aim to expand arts programming, establish arts infrastructure, and support arts opportunities in geographically isolated and socioeconomically under-resourced communities. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, city, county, and tribal governments, and public libraries located in specified rural counties. Grants up to $5,000 are available with a 1:1 match requirement, half of which may be in-kind support. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
