Urbana Arts Grants
About This Opportunity
The Urbana Arts & Culture Program will begin accepting applications for their 2025 cycle on March 1st, 2025. Application deadline is March 31st, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. via the Neighborly Portal (link below). Late applications and materials will not be accepted. Please review 2025 Guidelines (located at the bottom of this page) for information on what to prepare for your application. There is also an application tutorial video at the end of this page.
Restrictions
Projects must be exhibited or performed within the City of Urbana. Please note that the cities of Champaign and Urbana are separate entities. Further, preference may be given to projects that take place within a Tax Increment Financing District (TIF). Projects must be open and accessible to the public. Projects that charge admission are required to ensure grant funding is spent primarily on portions of the project that are free and open to the public. Permanent installations are not eligible at this time. Consideration will be given to murals with a detailed property owner partnership/tenant relationship, along with a plan and detailed timeline for installation, maintenance, and de-installation. Applicants do not need to live in the City of Urbana. However, Urbana residency may be taken into consideration. Previous recipients of Urbana Arts Grants ARE eligible to apply for the 2024 cycle of Urbana Arts Grants. Grant applications requesting funding for new projects or new additions to ongoing projects may be given priority. Grantees with outstanding Urbana Arts Grants will NOT be eligible to apply.
What's Offered
Up to $90,000 will be awarded to artists, arts organizations, and festival presenters for creative projects that enrich the lives of Urbana residents and visitors.
