ARTS AND CULTURE RELIEF GRANT PROGRAM 2020
The Cultural Affairs Division is pleased to announce the awards for the Arts & Culture Relief Grant 2020, a one-time grant for eligible Pasadena-based arts and cultural organizations that were financially impacted by COVID-19 and the Safer At Home public health orders. The available budget was $550,000. The City is grateful for the generosity of the Pasadena Community Foundation for its contribution of $50,000 to this effort .
Arts and Culture are a vital part of the Pasadena community and economy and the City is pleased to be able to provide some measure of financial relief for both expenses incurred and lost revenues due to the pandemic.

The Annual Grants Program supports the creative life of Pasadena by expanding public access to the arts in our community, by supporting the work of the individual artist, bringing the creative process into the classroom, and funding annual festivals and parades and cultural programming throughout the City.
