Our Grants and Funding Committee met on Monday, August 10 to review information from the FY27 grant cycle and make funding recommendations that will go before the Metro Arts Commission. A video recording of this meeting is available here and the Committee’s recommendations are available below:
These recommendations will be reviewed by the Metro Arts Commission on Wednesday, August 19 beginning at 1pm at the Metro Southeast Facility (1417 Murfreesboro Pike). All Metro Arts Commission and Committee meetings are open to the public for anyone interested in attending or providing public comment in-person or online. Commission meetings are also available to live stream or watch afterwards on the Metro Nashville Network’s YouTube channel.
As a reminder, while we work through this process, we are unable to discuss individual application status until after the Commission has finalized funding decisions.
FY27 Grants Update
About Our Grants
Metro Arts Thrive Project Grants provide funding for artist-led, community-based art projects in Davidson County. Successful proposals align with Metro Arts’ mission by promoting cultural equity, actively engaging residents throughout the project, and impacting neighborhoods or communities. Individual artists, artist collectives, or community organizations with lead artists or artist teams may apply. Learn more about Thrive Grants here.
Metro Arts General Operating Support Grants provide funding for the general operations of arts-focused nonprofit organizations based in Davidson County. An arts-focused organization is one whose primary mission is to directly support the performance, exhibition, or instruction of art and whose majority of programming supports the performance, exhibition, instruction, creation, or education in the arts. Art refers to several artistic genres including, but not limited to dance, film and media arts, craft, literary arts, music, performance art, multidisciplinary work, theater, or visual arts. Learn more about Operating Support Grants here.
