Rhode Island Expansion Arts Program

Rhode Island Expansion Arts Program is a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, Rhode Island Foundation, and Rhode Island Council for the Humanities that provides multi-year funding and organizational capacity building to small, community-based, culturally diverse arts organizations in Rhode Island.

Each selected organization receives a $10,000 annual grant for three years, along with access to professional consultants, capacity-building workshops, and one-on-one administrative guidance. Priority is given to newly-emerging groups and organizations that center the cultural practices of racially diverse Rhode Island communities, with limited history of prior grant funding.

It supports small organizations whose programs and missions center on the cultural practices and traditions of Rhode Island’s diverse peoples. RIEAP provides the skills and tools these organizations need to grow as equal partners in the Rhode Island arts and cultural community. Priority is given to newly-emerging groups and those with little history of grant funding.

In seeking to build the capacity of these organizations, RIEAP recognizes the broader role they play in strengthening their communities including cultural preservation, education, and youth development. Funding fosters greater connections across the arts and humanities and provides leadership and professional development for a broader network of RIEAP-eligible arts and cultural organizations.
