Production Grants

The creation and presentation of events and programs are among the core activities of arts and cultural organizations. As organizations work to grow in size and constituency, the development of their artistic programming is just as important as the capacity-building steps they must take to ensure their long-term sustainability.

LMCC’s Production Grants were designed to support the core public programming of our constituents. Grants for up to $20,000 were provided to support production- and presentation-related costs of Lower Manhattan-based arts and cultural organizations. Priority was placed on new or expanded public arts and cultural programming, including first-time presentations of events or new components that significantly expand or enhance existing events.

Over three grant cycles, this program supported 31 organizations through $451,650 in grants to enable the presentation of 48 core programs and new events.
