SMALL GRANTS

FUNDING FOR PROJECTS and PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

$300-$2,000

The Telluride Arts Small Grants program is a long term investment to develop the expertise of local artists. Funds support individual artists working in the visual, media, performing and literary arts.

Artist projects may include the development, creation, completion or presentation of new work; and professional development such as conferences, workshops, residencies and classes. Artists are required to share work with the people of Telluride through a performance, publication, exhibit, screening, or a simple written or photo documentation of the project, in print or online.

Augment Grants

Funding for local musicians

$300-$2,000

Augment is a local nonprofit and umbrella program of Telluride Arts that exists to foster and support the music culture of the greater Telluride region. For the second year in a row, Augment and Telluride Arts are teaming up to offer Small Grants to a handful of local musicians to help fund their musical endeavors. Augment will be offering up to $2000 to each recipient and these funds can be used for anything from a new album project or music video to attending a music camp to help develop skills. The only caveat is that the funds and the project that they support have to come back to benefit the Telluride community in some way.

FLASH GRANTS

BRINGING ART TO THE STREETS

$100-$300

Flash grants for artists fund small, but impactful, guerrilla-style art happenings that bring more art to the streets and to the people in Telluride. 

Grants will be offered through an easy application process and quick turnaround so you have the cash you need to create something wonderful and imaginative. Projects can include, but are certainly not limited to, site-specific performance, poetry readings, temporary art installations, interactive activities, dance, music, and more!

Applications are accepted and will be awarded by a peer committee of local artists, on a rolling basis while funds are available.
