OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS UPDATES:
Annual Arts Organization Funding
Contracts with the 27 local arts agencies that will receive funding through the OCA’s annual process have been sent to City Council for approval. Once signed by city officials, the contracts will be sent to the funded agencies along with instructions for completing narrative and budget revisions. Organizations must sign and return a copy of the contract as well as complete the online revision before an initial payment can be made. If you have questions, please call 573-874-6386 or e-mail o...@como.gov
Small Request Funding
Applications for Small Request funding are being accepted on a rolling deadline and must be submitted to the OCA office no later than two months prior to the project’s start date (i.e., if your project begins on December 15, your application must be received by October 15). Only arts organizations with 501(c)(3) status may apply; if you do not have a 501(c)(3) you may collaborate with an organization that does. Contact the OCA, 573-874-6386, o...@como.gov or go to www.como.gov/arts for more information and how to access the application form.
Save the Date! Missouri Arts Council Grant Writing Workshop
