WHAT IS THE CAPITAL ARTS - HISTORIC LOCATIONS GRANT PROGRAM?
The Capital Arts - Historic Locations Grant Program supports capital projects for nonprofit arts organizations located in New Jersey. In FY23, the program will be presented in partnership with the New Jersey Historic Trust and will include the distribution of approximately $2.7 million in State Arts Council grant funds.
The grant program is designed to help New Jersey’s nonprofit arts organizations operating locations with historic designation(s) or certified eligible for historic designation, build operational stability and capacity and improve or enhance a historic facility through:
• construction
• repair or expansion of existing facilities
• acquisition/installation of building service equipment
A request to fund a bundle of unrelated components will be considered, but may not be fully funded.
For this grant opportunity, priority will be given to projects directly addressing/stopping the deterioration of a historic location.
FY23 Program Guidelines are available in English and Spanish.
