Diversity in the Arts Grants Program

The Diversity in the Arts Grants Program is dedicated to providing funding and technical assistance for BIPOC leadership and cultural organizations who serve underrepresented populations in our region.

We believe in intentional investments that fuel the growth, stability, and representation of the culturally diverse communities in our region. Introduced in 2021 by United Arts, this program takes an action-oriented approach to amplifying opportunities for people of color to create and engage in transformative cultural programming throughout Central Florida.
