Annual Art Contract Program
2010 City Of Davis Art Contract Program Applications Now Available
Applications for the 2010 City of Davis Art Contract Program are now available. Applications may be picked up at the Pence Gallery, 212 D Street in Davis, at the City of Davis Community Services Department in City Hall at 23 Russell Blvd. in Davis, or downloaded below.
The program provides funds for a wide variety of community-based art programming and projects that foster art excellence, diversity, and vitality.
Applications are due Monday November 16, 2009 at 5:00 p.m.
Late applications cannot be accepted.
Applicants who meet one or more of the following criteria may apply: Davis art groups, organizations and galleries; members of the university community who are extending on-campus activities into the City of Davis; non-profit organizations that want to sponsor an art-related program in Davis; and individual artists and arts educators who live in Davis or the surrounding unincorporated area, or whose primary artistic activity is in Davis. All projects must take place in the City of Davis.
Projects do not need to be large in scope; the City welcomes small projects that can make a difference in their field. A project does not have to be a new activity. Continuing activities will be considered, particularly if the City funding would allow the applicant to expand the event or reach new audiences, and/or to continue doing good service.
Applicants selected for funding receive from $500 to $4,000. All funded projects should be completed by June 30, 2011.
An optional applicant workshop will be held on Monday October 19, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at the Pence Gallery, 212 D Street, in downtown Davis, to assist potential applicants in completing the application, answer general and specific questions, discuss the process and review criteria, and how to strengthen their application. This workshop will be helpful for potential new applicants, as well as for past applicants and recipients.
