Cultural Producer Grants - Charlotte Street Charlotte Street launched the Cultural Producer Grant Program with major contributions in thought leadership and funding from David Hughes, Jr. (Charlotte Street founder and former director) in 2021 with the purpose of bringing critical sustaining support to low-budget grassroots arts organizations and artist-run projects in Kansas City.
Kansas City has long enjoyed a thriving and diverse ecology of small artist-run spaces, collectives, groups, and organizations, which have sometimes suffered from lack of support needed to establish sustainability. While each may be small, the collective impact both to our arts community and to our city have been enormous.
Whether permanent or temporary, these groups nurture and grow artists creatively and become powerful engines of community. Financial backing for these organizations often goes “under the radar” for larger institutional support. These Cultural Producer Grants aim to both draw attention to these critical elements of our arts ecosystem as well as direct some much needed support their way.
