Production Grants
The creation and presentation of events and programs are among the core activities of arts and cultural organizations. As organizations grow, the development of high quality artistic programming is just as important as capacity building to ensure their long-term sustainability.
LMCC’s Production Grants were designed to support the core public programming of Downtown arts and cultural organizations. Grants of up to $20,000 were provided to support production- and presentation-related costs, with a priority on new or expanded arts and cultural programming in Lower Manhattan.
Over three grant cycles, the program supported 31 organizations through $454,000 in grants to enable the presentation of 48 core programs and new events, including exhibitions, performances, screenings, lectures, and concerts.
