The purpose of the California Arts and Accessibility Technical Assistance Program is to enhance opportunities for participation in the arts by people with disabilities. This is done through small, but critical grants of $500 or $1000 to artists with disabilities and arts organizations. Grants for artists with disabilities are intended to support those who are committed to advancing their work and their careers. Applications are encouraged from artists in all artistic disciplines. Artist grants are for specific projects that contribute directly to their growth and development as professionals. Funding will be available through May, 2012 Please read Grant Guidelines carefully as there have been changes to the program.
