Manhattan Arts Grants (2027)

Manhattan Arts Grants (2027) is sponsored by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC). LMCC invites Manhattan-based individual artists, collectives, and non-profit organizations working across all artistic disciplines to apply for 2027 project and/or unrestricted grant support. This includes four distinct open call opportunities: Creative Engagement, UMEZ Arts Engagement, Creative Learning, and Creative Unrestricted.

Creative Engagement - LMCC *2027 Guidelines and Application Available Now* Creative Engagement is a Manhattan Arts Grants program that provides funding to artists and nonprofit organizations for public events that will take place in Manhattan between January-December 2027.

Each year, the program supports hundreds of arts projects, including concerts, performances, public art, exhibitions, screenings, festivals, workshops, readings, and more. LMCC will fund projects that connect with Manhattan’s communities from Inwood to the Battery and amplify the cultural expressions of the borough’s diverse population.

LMCC encourages projects that are generated within and serve communities that may have limited access to art programs, services, or resources due to location, race, language, economic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, and disability to apply.

LMCC also highly encourages individuals and organizations whose work is rooted in the lived experience of Manhattan’s Black, Indigenous, and immigrant communities to apply for funding.

Creative Engagement funding is provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs’ Greater New York Arts Development Fund (DCLA), the New York State Council on the Arts’ Statewide Community Regrants (NYSCA) with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, and the Howard Gilman Foundation (HGF). Funding is intended for artists and organizations that cannot apply directly to these agencies .

In general, this includes earlier career artists, collectives, and recently established organizations; and those with smaller operating budgets or less administrative infrastructure to create, fundraise, and distribute their work. Applications are open for the 2027 Manhattan Arts Grant cycle. Review the guidelines , application, and FAQs below.

Creative Engagement FAQs (English) Application Section IA: Project Goals and Creative Team What do you mean by a project-based grant? Creative Engagement grants provide support for a specific, public-facing project.

Funds are meant to support expenses related to carrying out the project, including planning and production costs incurred during the grant period. What do you mean by the creation of new work? Creative Engagement does not support existing works previously funded by the program.

Meaningful reinterpretations of previous work, and projects that are similar in theme, scale, scope, or intended audience to work that has already premiered are eligible. Please email us if you aren’t sure. For annual festivals, exhibitions, or series, the annual event may be the same, but ideally, participating artists and/or artworks rotate.

Applying with the exact same format, artists, and artworks that the public has already experienced multiple years in a row is discouraged. What do you mean by a public-facing project or component? Creative Engagement supports a wide range of arts events and programming that provide an opportunity for audiences to view, access, experience, and engage with the arts.

Projects may include more traditional forms of engagement, such as the opportunity to attend a theatrical performance, as well as more innovative forms, such as a participatory or socially engaged project. Can I submit two separate proposals for two different projects? No. You may only submit one proposal for one project per application cycle.

If I’m applying to Creative Engagement , can I also apply to Creative Unrestricted ? No. You may only submit ONE proposal to Creative Engagement or to Creative Unrestricted per application cycle. Can I apply with a series of events?

Projects including multiple events/presentations under a single programming strand or series may apply to Creative Engagement , with the events included as a single project. This is most common with festivals or other series with a clear artistic thread and vision connecting the different events.

Since Creative Engagement grants are project-specific, an individual artist’s entire practice or an organization’s entire season of multiple projects are generally not eligible. Can I apply for a project that includes an artist commission? Yes, if the commission is directly related to the public presentation of the project.

The timing of the commission and the public component must fall within the grant period. Stand-alone commissioning projects without a public component will not be considered. What projects are eligible for Howard Gilman Foundation funds?

Performing arts projects (dance, theater, music, and multidisciplinary performing arts) are eligible for funds from the Howard Gilman Foundation. Eligible multidisciplinary projects must include a core performing arts component. Visual arts, media/new media, and literary projects as standalone projects are not eligible.

Application Section IB: Artistic Work Samples What samples should I submit? Well-documented samples of past, completed work that is relevant to the proposed project are often the most compelling during the panel meetings. Samples can be relevant in scale, topic, artistic technique, approach, or vision.

If you are proposing entirely virtual programming and you have done a similar project in the past, including the recording of the previous project as one of the work samples can be helpful for the panelists to envision your project. Below are a few project-specific recommendations: Projects featuring a commissioned artist , include a work sample from the commissioned artist.

Site-specific installations or public art , include a rendering or schematic of the work set in the proposed location. New theater productions, include work samples from the company’s productions or the proposed director’s work if a new collaboration. If proposing an original work, a manuscript sample from the proposed play is highly recommended in addition to visual samples of past productions.

New dance productions , include work samples of the choreographer’s work or samples from the artists involved if a new collaboration. Group shows or festivals , include work samples from the proposed artists if already selected. Include samples from past curatorial/presenting projects or festivals if the artists have not yet been selected.

Original music presentations , include work samples from the composer and the ensemble if a new collaboration. Can I submit documentation of a work in progress? Work-in-progress samples can be useful if the proposed project is a significant departure from past projects or contains elements that are hard to envision or understand without a visual representation.

We always recommend submitting work-in-progress samples alongside a sample of a past completed work to demonstrate the vision and production value of your work when fully conceived. I am a theatre artist worried about the Actors Equity Association (AEA) rules on video documentation. What should I do regarding work samples?

Every code and contract with AEA contains specific media rules, so make sure to check your contract first or contact them directly with further questions. If your contract or code does not allow filming or taping, contact the AEA Media Department to inquire about acquiring a Media Agreement for grant-seeking purposes. For more information, visit the AEA website: https://www.

actorsequity. org/resources/Producers/recording-and-broadcast/ I do not have any video samples. What can I submit instead?

We strongly encourage performing artists and those working in time-based forms to provide at least one video or audio documentation of your work. If providing a recording is not possible, you may provide still image samples. You may also want to provide a manuscript sample if working with an original text or script.

Can I submit a video compilation of multiple excerpts as one of my work samples? Highly edited compilation videos or promotional reels, often featuring voiceover narration or music not present in the live presentation of the work, are not acceptable work samples.

A single recording featuring performances by multiple artists can be appropriate for festivals or showcases featuring multiple artists, however, the clips included must be clear, unedited documentation and long enough for the jury to get a sense of the artist or work being shown. Is it ok to submit samples that were not professionally documented? Yes.

It is important that the quality of the sample be high enough, so the jury is not distracted by the documentation itself and is able to focus on the artistic work being presented. Very pixelated or blurry samples, or those with dark lighting, a shaky camera, or showing audience members leaving early, are not suitable work samples. How do I password-protect my audio or video samples?

On Vimeo and SoundCloud, make the recording “private. ” On YouTube, make the recording “unlisted. ” To change the privacy settings of the YouTube video, please visit YouTube Help .

Be sure to provide any necessary passwords in the application form. Application Section IC: Community, Audience, or Public Are there particular considerations for online or remote projects or programming? While Creative Engagement primarily supports in-person experiences, we also recognize the importance of online or remote programming that is designed around the accessibility needs of Manhattan-based audiences.

As with in-person projects, virtual or remote activities must offer an opportunity for active audience engagement or a real-time experience of the artistic work. Virtual or remote programming should be targeted towards and designed for audiences for whom in-person programming may not be easily accessible.

Projects that focus on the production of an app, video, or audio material to be posted online without an opportunity for audiences to actively engage with the artist and the work through a public event are not eligible. Projects in which the audience engagement is primarily self-guided or intended to be experienced individually without live artist interaction or presentation are not eligible.

Additionally, projects designed as watch or listening parties or interactive online content without a stated need for this kind of programming from the target audience are not eligible. If you have remote or virtual programming, be sure to contact us to discuss your program ideas before applying. How will you determine if my online or remote project is reaching a Manhattan audience?

I plan to present my event(s) at Manhattan venue(s). Do the venues need to be confirmed for me to apply? No. We understand venues for 2027 may all be tentative at the time of the application deadline.

Provide the most likely and intended venue in the application form. If the venue changes after you submit the application, inform LMCC staff. The venue must remain in Manhattan for the project to remain eligible for the program and the grant, if awarded.

My project events take place in multiple boroughs. Can I apply for support for the entire project? No. You can only apply for support of the project events in Manhattan or virtual events reaching Manhattan audiences for online projects and programming.

Recording or streaming of online events should still take place in Manhattan venues. You can provide contextual information around other events in your application narrative but focus your request on the Manhattan public component and make sure your project budget only reflects the Manhattan activities. Application Section ID: Project Budget Do I need to include a project budget upload in my online application form?

No. LMCC does not require a project budget upload to demonstrate a request amount. Instead, you will be asked to enter your expenses and income directly into the table provided in the application form. What kinds of costs should I include in my application?

Your application should reflect all expenses related to the proposed project. Project expenses may include administrative and artistic expenses related to planning, producing and delivering the proposed public activities. Project expenses often include artist fees, administrative or technical personnel fees, space or equipment rental, costumes/set/art materials, and marketing costs related to the project.

Expenses must be incurred during the grant period and be related to the Manhattan activities of the project. Please be sure to always provide a description that shows how you are calculating each expense item to ensure the jury understands the math behind your expense amounts.

LMCC supports the payment of all participating artists, therefore, we require that you include a fee for all the people involved in the project, confirmed and tentative, including your organization’s staff connected to the proposed project or yourself as an individual artist applicant. Can I use any of the funding for work-in-progress showings?

Funding is intended to provide meaningful connections between the artist(s), their project, and the public. Provided that the work-in-progress event is open to the public and not structured as a cultivation event, funding may be used for it. Please check in with the team if you’re not sure.

Can I use the grant for my film’s production costs? Film project proposals must focus on the public presentation or active experience of the work, such as a public screening of a completed film. The proposal can also include costs related to the post-production activities of finishing the film, but the focus of your application and your project expenses should be on the public presentation of the work.

Keep in mind that all costs reflected in your application form must be incurred within the grant period. Can I use the grant for distribution costs? Creative Engagement funds are not available for distribution fees or costs related to showing a film in festivals and events not produced by the applicant.

Creative Engagement funds are also not available for costs related to producing CDs/DVDs/Vinyl, distributing audio work on online platforms, or publishing literary works. I’m new to Submittable. How do I create and manage a Submittable account?

LMCC’s grant applications are hosted on the Submittable platform . According to their website, Submittable attained a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (or VPAT), affirming that their platform is accessible to a wide range of submitters with disabilities. Submittable’s VPAT follows industry standards outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.

0. WCAG is maintained by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). VPAT verifies that Submittable is accessible to a wide range of submitters with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these.

Submittable pages and forms are configured to be navigated using keyboard commands associated with a wide variety of browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer) and screen reader applications. Site pages and public-facing forms are built with ARIA labels, and the default settings for text, buttons, and hyperlinks follow WCAG guidelines for color contrast.

Once you have created an account, you will be able to complete the application. Please connect the account to an email you check regularly. LMCC staff will contact you with questions, follow-up requests, and official grant notifications through this portal.

Most people don’t complete the whole application all at once . You can use the “Save Draft” button at the bottom of the form at any point and return to your work. You will know that your submission was successful because you will receive a confirmation email .

It will have a link to an optional survey about your experience. The survey is for us to learn about how the process went for you and how we can make it better. It is anonymous and fully separated from your application.

Who makes funding decisions for Creative Engagement ? Recommendations for LMCC's Manhattan Arts Grants are made through a panel selection process designed to ensure projects are funded based on their ability to address the program's criteria.

LMCC is committed to convening panelists whose expertise and backgrounds reflect the cultural and creative diversity of the applicant pool, including artistic genre and form, racial, ethnic and cultural background. The panel is comprised of artists, cultural workers, and arts professionals with knowledge and familiarity of Manhattan’s neighborhoods and communities. Only eligible and complete applications are reviewed by the panel.

How does LMCC select panelists?

LMCC broadly seeks to engage panelists with experience in any of the following areas: Contemporary artists and companies advancing their form or curators/programming entities with related goals Folk and traditional artists and companies carrying their practices forward or curators/programming entities with related goals Grassroots arts groups providing arts events for a specific community or audience base Non-arts organizations with a history of providing arts programming to their community Arts enrichment for youth, creative aging, or workshops/participatory programs for adults LMCC engages over 50 jury members each year for the Manhattan Arts Grants.

If you are interested in serving as a panelist or nominating someone else for service, please complete or share LMCC’s Panel Nomination form . As a returning grantee, will my funding history with LMCC be considered by the panel? Panelists are not informed of your funding history with LMCC.

All applications are reviewed and considered equally within the same applicant pool and based on the information provided in the online application form. Having received support from LMCC in the past does not make your application more competitive in the applicant pool. Additionally, having received support from LMCC in the past does not guarantee support in subsequent years.

Creative Engagement FAQs (Español) Sección IA del Formulario de Solicitud: Objetivos del Proyecto y Equipo Creativo ¿Qué significa que ésta sea una subvención para un proyecto específico? Las subvenciones de Creative Engagement brindan apoyo para un proyecto específico dirigido al público.

Los fondos están destinados a cubrir gastos relacionados con la realización del proyecto, incluidos los costos de planificación y producción incurridos durante el período de la subvención. ¿Qué significa la creación de obra nueva? Creative Engagement no apoya obras existentes que hayan recibido financiamiento del programa anteriormente.

Re-interpretaciones significativas de obras anteriores y proyectos que sean similares en tema, escala, alcance o público al que están dirigidos a obras que ya hayan tenido su estreno son elegibles. Envíenos un correo electrónico si tiene dudas. En el caso de festivales, exposiciones o series anuales, el evento puede ser el mismo cada año, pero, idealmente, las personas artistas participantes y/o las obras presentadas deben variar.

No se recomienda presentar una solicitud con exactamente el mismo formato, las mismas personas artistas y las mismas obras que el público ya haya experimentado durante varios años consecutivos. ¿Qué significa que un proyecto o componente esté dirigido al público? Creative Engagement apoya una amplia variedad de eventos y programas artísticos que ofrecen al público oportunidades para ver, experimentar y participar en las artes.

Los proyectos pueden incluir formas más tradicionales de participación, como asistir a una presentación teatral, así como formas más innovadoras, como proyectos participativos o de práctica artística con enfoque social. ¿Puedo presentar dos propuestas diferentes para dos proyectos distintos? No. Solo se puede presentar una propuesta para un único proyecto por ciclo de solicitud.

Si presento una solicitud a Creative Engagement , ¿también puedo presentar una solicitud a Creative Unrestricted ? No. Solo se puede presentar UNA propuesta a Creative Engagement o a Creative Unrestricted por ciclo de solicitud. ¿Puedo presentar una solicitud para una serie de eventos?

Los proyectos que incluyan varios eventos o presentaciones dentro de una misma línea o serie de programación pueden solicitar una subvención de Creative Engagement , con los eventos incluidos como un solo proyecto. Esto es más común en festivales u otras series con un hilo conductor y una visión artística clara que conecten los distintos eventos.

Dado que las subvenciones de Creative Engagement son específicas para proyectos, por lo general, no son elegibles los proyectos que cubran la práctica artística completa de una persona ni el conjunto de múltiples proyectos que una organización desarrolle a lo largo de una temporada. ¿Puedo solicitar una subvención para un proyecto que incluya una comisión para una persona artista?

Sí, siempre y cuando la comisión esté directamente relacionada con la presentación pública del proyecto. El período de la comisión y el componente público deben tener lugar dentro del período de la subvención. No se considerarán proyectos de comisión independientes que no incluyan un componente público.

¿Qué proyectos son elegibles para recibir fondos de la Howard Gilman Foundation? Los proyectos de artes escénicas (danza, teatro, música y artes escénicas multidisciplinarias) son elegibles para recibir fondos de la Fundación de Howard Gilman. Los proyectos multidisciplinarios elegibles deben incluir un componente central de las artes escénicas.

Los proyectos de artes visuales, medios/nuevos medios y literatura, cuando se presentan como proyectos independientes, no son elegibles. Sección IB del Formulario de Solicitud: Muestras de Trabajo Artístico ¿Qué muestras de trabajo debo presentar?

Las muestras de trabajos más relevantes para el panel suelen ser aquellas que corresponden a trabajos anteriores, ya finalizados y bien documentados, que estén relacionados con el proyecto propuesto. Las muestras pueden ser pertinentes en cuanto a escala, tema, técnica artística, enfoque o visión.

Si propone una programación completamente virtual y ha realizado un proyecto similar anteriormente, incluir la grabación del proyecto anterior como una de las muestras de trabajo puede ayudar a los panelistas a visualizar el proyecto propuesto.

A continuación, se presentan algunas recomendaciones específicas para diferentes tipos de proyectos: Proyectos que incluyan una comisión para una persona artista: incluir una muestra de trabajo de la persona artista comisionada. Instalaciones específicas para un sitio o proyectos de arte público: incluir un boceto o esquema de la obra en el lugar propuesto.

Nuevas producciones teatrales: incluir muestras de trabajo de las producciones de la compañía o del trabajo de la persona a cargo de la dirección propuesta, si se trata de una nueva colaboración. Si se propone una obra original, se recomienda ampliamente incluir una muestra del manuscrito de la obra propuesta, además de muestras visuales de producciones anteriores.

Nuevas producciones de danza: incluir muestras del trabajo de la persona a cargo de la coreografía o muestras de las personas artistas involucradas si se trata de una nueva colaboración. Exposiciones colectivas o festivales: incluir muestras de trabajo de las personas artistas propuestas, si ya han sido seleccionadas.

Si las personas artistas aún no han sido seleccionadas, incluir muestras de proyectos curatoriales o de presentación anteriores, o de festivales anteriores. Presentaciones de música original: incluir muestras de trabajo de la persona compositora y del conjunto musical si se trata de una nueva colaboración. ¿Puedo presentar documentación de una obra en proceso?

Las muestras de obras en proceso pueden ser útiles si el proyecto propuesto representa un cambio significativo con respecto a proyectos anteriores o contiene elementos que son difíciles de visualizar o comprender sin una representación visual.

Siempre recomendamos presentar muestras de obras en proceso junto con una muestra de un trabajo anterior ya finalizado para demostrar la visión y el nivel de producción de su trabajo una vez que esté completamente concebido. Soy una persona artista de teatro y me preocupan las reglas de Actors’ Equity Association (AEA) sobre la documentación en video. ¿Qué debo hacer con respecto a las muestras de trabajo?

Cada contrato con Actors’ Equity Association (AEA) contiene reglas específicas sobre el uso de medios, por lo que debe asegurarse de revisar primero su contrato o comunicarse directamente con AEA si tiene preguntas adicionales. Si su contrato no permite filmar o grabar, comuníquese con el Departamento de Medios de AEA para consultar sobre la posibilidad de obtener un Acuerdo de Medios con fines de solicitar subvenciones.

Para obtener más información, visite el sitio web de AEA: https://www. actorsequity. org/resources/Producers/recording-and-broadcast/ No tengo muestras de video.

¿Qué puedo presentar en su lugar? Recomendamos enfáticamente que las personas artistas de las artes escénicas y quienes trabajan en disciplinas basadas en el tiempo proporcionen al menos una muestra en video o audio de su trabajo. Si no es posible proporcionar una grabación, puede presentar muestras de imágenes estáticas, tales como fotografías.

También se puede proporcionar una muestra de un manuscrito si el trabajo es de un texto o guión original. ¿Puedo presentar una compilación en video de varios fragmentos como una de mis muestras de trabajo?

Por lo general, los videos de compilación no son aceptables como muestras de trabajo, especialmente cuando se trata de videos muy editados o reels promocionales que suelen incluir narración en off o música que no forma parte de la presentación de la obra en vivo.

Sin embargo, una compilación puede ser apropiada para festivales o muestras en las que participen varias personas artistas, cuando la grabación incluya segmentos de presentaciones de artistas que hayan participado en ediciones anteriores del evento o de las personas artistas propuestas en la solicitud.

Los fragmentos incluidos deben ser claros, no estar editados y tener la duración suficiente para que el panel pueda formarse una idea de la persona artista o de la obra que se presenta. ¿Puedo presentar muestras de trabajo que no hayan sido documentadas profesionalmente? Sí.

Es importante que la calidad de la muestra sea lo suficientemente buena como para que el panel no se distraiga con errores técnicos en la documentación y pueda concentrarse en el trabajo artístico que se presenta. Las muestras de trabajo que no son adecuadas son aquellas muy pixeladas o borrosas, o aquellas con iluminación deficiente, una cámara inestable o en las que se vea a personas del público retirándose antes de tiempo.

¿Cómo puedo proteger con contraseña mis muestras de audio o video? Las grabaciones en Vimeo y SoundCloud se pueden configurar como “privadas”. En YouTube, la grabación se puede configurar como “no listada”.

Para cambiar la configuración de privacidad del video de YouTube, consulte la Ayuda de YouTube . Asegúrese de proporcionar las contraseñas necesarias en el formulario de solicitud y de mantener sus muestras en línea accesibles con la misma contraseña hasta marzo de 2027. Sección IC del Formulario de Solicitud: Comunidad, Audiencia o Público ¿Hay consideraciones específicas para proyectos o programas en línea o a distancia?

Si bien Creative Engagement apoya principalmente experiencias presenciales, también reconoce la importancia de los programas en línea o a distancia diseñados para responder a las necesidades de accesibilidad del público de Manhattan. Al igual que los proyectos presenciales, las actividades virtuales o a distancia deben ofrecer oportunidades para la participación activa del público o para experimentar el trabajo artístico en tiempo real.

Los programas virtuales o a distancia deben estar dirigidos y diseñados para públicos que puedan tener dificultades para acceder a programas presenciales. No son elegibles los proyectos centrados en la producción de una aplicación, video o material de audio para publicarse en línea que no ofrezcan al público la oportunidad de interactuar activamente con la persona artista y con la obra a través de un evento público.

Tampoco son elegibles los proyectos en los que la participación del público sea principalmente autoguiada o esté diseñada como una experiencia individual sin interacción en vivo con la persona artista ni una presentación en vivo.

Además, no son elegibles los proyectos diseñados como eventos para ver o escuchar contenido en grupo, ni el contenido interactivo en línea, a menos que se demuestre que el público al que están dirigidos necesita este tipo de programación. Si el proyecto incluye programación virtual o a distancia, recomendamos comunicarse con nosotros para conversar sobre la propuesta antes de presentar la solicitud.

¿Cómo determinarán si mi proyecto en línea o a distancia está llegando a un público de Manhattan? Esto se demostrará a través de las redes, organizaciones o personas colaboradoras y/o las estrategias que se utilizarán para promocionar el proyecto, según lo indicado en el formulario de solicitud.

Al igual que con los eventos presenciales, el panel evaluará cómo se promocionará el proyecto para asegurar que el público conozca las actividades y pueda acceder a ellas y participar.

Si se depende principalmente de las redes sociales o de una lista de suscriptores para llegar al público objetivo, se deberá especificar quiénes forman parte actualmente de esas redes o listas y considerar estrategias adicionales adaptadas a ese público, especialmente si las actividades propuestas están diseñadas para realizarse completamente en línea.

El panel también evaluará si el formato virtual o a distancia responde a las necesidades del público al que está dirigido, al determinar la pertinencia y el alcance del proyecto propuesto. Planeo presentar mi evento o eventos en uno o varios espacios de Manhattan. ¿Es necesario que los espacios estén confirmados para poder presentar la solicitud?

No. Entendemos que los espacios para 2027 pueden ser provisionales
