2025 Northwest Aurora Arts Grants Application Open

The city's Cultural Affairs Commission is now accepting applications for the 2025 Northwest Aurora Arts Grants. Organizations and individual artists primarily based in the Aurora Cultural Arts District or with significant programming impacting ACAD are invited to apply.

Applicants must meet eligibility requirements and supply supporting documentation as outlined at AuroraGov.org/ArtsGrants. The deadline to apply is 9 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8.

The purpose of the Northwest Aurora Arts Grants is to help foster the Aurora Cultural Arts District (ACAD) and economic development in Original Aurora by providing financial support to individuals and organizations who encourage and/or create arts and culture programs and services within the Aurora Cultural Arts District capable of attracting diverse audiences to the area. Applicants not primarily located within ACAD may be able to seek partnerships with the venues within ACAD.

The Cultural Affairs Commission will offer a virtual workshop from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 6 to provide more information on the different sections of the application and answer questions. The workshop is not mandatory, but attendees receive one extra point on their grant application evaluation.
