RACC Press Releases

The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) invites individual artists, non-profit organizations and schools in Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas Counties to apply for Project Grants for a specific art project or event taking place in 2006.

Through competitive grants programs RACC seeks to enhance and enrich artistic activity throughout the Portland region by supporting talented artists and creative projects generated by organizations and schools. These Project Grants provide financial support to individual artists and organizations that offer a specific art presentation, exhibit or creation of work available to the public. An arts project should possess artistic quality, imaginative scope and vision, and be fully executed within calendar year 2006. RACC offers funding for Project Grants in the following three categories: Artistic Focus, Neighborhood Arts, and Arts-in-Schools (K-12).
