Community Grants
The Salida Council for the Arts invites all Salida artists and creatives to apply for the upcoming Community Grants. Grants of up to $500 each are open to applicants seeking funding for local arts and cultural
based projects. Grants will be awarded quarterly, as funding permits.
​
Applicants may be individuals or organizations. Residency in Salida is not required, but the project must have a definable connection to the Salida Community and be supportive of the Council’s Mission to enrich the cultural life of our community by connecting them with artists.
​
These grants are for a specific creative project and not for an artist’s or organization’s operating budget. Use your imagination to create a project that will inspire, edify, and/or entertain the Salida community.
2025 Grants will open in the spring.

High School Scholarships
Salida Council for the Arts will award scholarships up to two outstanding, college-bound Salida-area students in the amount of $1,000 each or $2,000 in the event of there being only one qualified applicant. Those who are eligible are students attending Salida High School, as well as students in non-traditional programs or home-schooled students who plan to pursue studies in a creative discipline as a full-time student at an accredited college or institution. Creative disciplines may include, but are not limited to: Architecture, Design, Fine Arts, Multimedia, Writing, Communication, Performing Arts, Culinary Arts.
Scholarship recipients must provide official documentation showing enrollment in an accredited college or institution to SCFTA before funds will be awarded. A copy may be sent to salidacouncilforthearts@gmail.com
