Facilitated by the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture’s Youth Arts & Culture Council, the Youth Arts+Culture Engagement Grant is a funding opportunity for youth-led arts and culture advisory boards, councils, art groups, clubs, and similar organizations to create projects which support the artistic and cultural work of young people or projects which introduce youth to arts and culture in the City of Phoenix.
The Youth Arts and Culture Council (YACC) is a collective of young artists from all arts disciplines who advocate for youth representation in Phoenix and provide arts and culture experiences to all in Phoenix. Members attend school, work, and/or reside in Phoenix and represent Phoenix’s eight council districts.
YACC is looking for project proposals that strengthen these core values: Art and culture as expressions of humanity across generations; young adult artists having full body and voice representation in every planning process of all arts and culture experiences; artistic collaborations with full representation from all persons at the intersection of any age, race, culture, class, religion, sex, national origin, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
