The Casa Grande Arts & Culture Commission is pleased to announce two exciting opportunities for community engagement in the arts: the 2025 Partnership Grant Funding Program and the City Hall North Plaza Archways Public Art Project. These initiatives aim to support and enhance local arts programs while showcasing creative talent within the community.
2025 Partnership Grant Funding Program
Nonprofit organizations are invited to apply for funding to support visual and performing arts projects through the 2025 Partnership Grant Funding Program. Applications are now open, with a submission deadline of March 24 at 4:00 p.m.
As part of the selection process, all applicants must attend the Arts & Culture Commission meeting on April 1, where they will present their proposals and answer questions. Grant awards will be announced during the meeting, and failure to attend may result in disqualification.
City Hall North Plaza Archways Public Art Project
The Arts & Culture Commission is also seeking proposals for the Casa Grande City Hall North Plaza Archways Public Art Project. This initiative will bring new artistic elements to the archways at 510 E. Florence Boulevard, providing an opportunity for artists to showcase their creativity through various mediums, including metal art, murals, and stonework.
