The San Mateo County Arts Commission connects, convenes and champions the arts. To further its mission, the Arts Commission allocates the majority of its funds to provide support to arts organizations located in San Mateo County and to educators at Title 1 schools in San Mateo County.

LOCAL ARTS GRANTS
The Arts Commission provides funds to assist arts organizations in building a strong presence in the community, growing audiences and expanding services and programs to the community and to children in grades K-12 and to educate and expose county residents to a wide range of artistic and cultural expression.

The goals are to:

Build greater managerial and fiscal capacity of county arts organizations
Encourage increased public participation by residents and visitors in events, programs, and services offered by arts organizations in the County
Increase access to the benefits of arts learning for K-12 public school students

(Organizations may apply in ONLY ONE category)
