**Local Arts Program (LAP) Grant** The**Local Arts Program (LAP) Grant** enables the **New Jersey State Council on the Arts (NJSCA)** to support local arts development within each of New Jersey’s 21 counties through a competitive grant application process by awarding funds to officially designated county arts agencies (CAAs).
The **Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission (SCC&HC)** is the agency officially designated in Somerset County to apply for, receive and administer this annual Local Arts Program Grant.
Though a small percentage of the annual total grant award supports local arts development through planned programming and other services provided by the Cultural & Heritage office, the greater percentage of the grant award (generally 75% ) is set aside for re-grants, through a formal application/independent peer review panel process to support eligible local arts organizations and other non-profit organizations within Somerset County that provide public art projects, programs, services and development to benefit diverse public audiences.
Grant awards are competitive and seek to encourage artistic excellence at the local level.

Kresge Foundation's first-ever Cultural Heritage round of Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit Plus opens $1.25M for 10-15 community-led projects across Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park — and the program's fiscal-sponsor provision, two-year project window, and explicit equal treatment of physical and nonphysical projects mark a meaningful departure from the program's first decade.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, the NEA, NEH and IMLS jointly rescinded the disparate-impact provisions of 45 CFR Part 1110. No comment period, no delayed effective date, and an admission buried in the preamble: across FY2020 through FY2024 the agencies ran zero disparate-impact-only investigations. Here is what actually changes for grantees — and what does not.
Read articleNEA's FY2027 Partnership Agreement Grants (2027NEA04PA) put $59 million into 56 state arts agencies with a September 29, 2026 deadline. No individual arts nonprofit can apply.
