Northwest Aurora Arts Grants 2025

The 2025 Northwest Aurora Arts Grants, administered by the city’s Cultural Affairs Commission, are now open for applications to support arts and culture initiatives within the Aurora Cultural Arts District (ACAD) that drive economic development and attract diverse audiences to the area. Both organizations and individual artists based in ACAD or those with significant programming impact on the district are eligible. For applicants not primarily located within ACAD, partnerships with local venues in the district are encouraged. Applications are due by 9 p.m. on Sunday, December 8, 2024, and must include all required documentation as outlined at AuroraGov.org/ArtsGrants. To assist with the application, a virtual workshop will be held on Wednesday, November 6, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Though attendance is optional, participants receive one additional point in the evaluation process.
