El Programa de Subvenciones ArtsWave Pride ofrece financiación para proyectos artísticos o de patrimonio cultural que promuevan y/o celebren la comunidad LGBTQIA+, fomentando nuestra comprensión y apreciación de la comunidad LGBTQ.

ArtsWave’s FY2027 Circle Grant Program is part of the organization’s commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion in the arts. The grant seeks affinity‑group projects that advance Black and African American arts experiences within the Cincinnati region. Eligible applicants are arts organizations based in Cincinnati that can demonstrate a focus on Black and African American cultural expression. Proposals should outline how the project will engage the community, build connections, and contribute to the region’s cultural vitality. The grant offers seed funding of up to $10,000 or 50% of the total project budget, whichever is lower, and requires a 1:1 match. Applicants may submit a draft for early feedback on September 9, 2026, and must submit the final application by September 21, 2026, 5:00 pm. The application is submitted through ArtsWave’s Submittable portal. The program is annual, with a new cycle each fiscal year, and is currently open for the FY2027 cycle.
