Description:

Funding through this bill will be distributed through two separate grant applications: 1) Colorado Arts Relief—Organization and Business FY22 and, 2) Colorado Arts Relief—Individuals FY22. The programs are administered by Colorado Creative Industries.

The Colorado Arts Relief Fund for Organizations and Businesses provides general operating support to arts, culture, and entertainment organizations and businesses. The program’s purpose is to support a resilient post-pandemic economy. Funds are targeted to help avoid permanent arts, culture, and entertainment business closures, retain or rehire jobs, and preserve community cultural assets affected by the COVID-19 public health emergency. This funding prioritizes organizations and businesses that have the greatest potential to stimulate their local economy and that serve the most pandemic-impacted communities. By providing financial assistance to the arts and culture organizations significant to communities across Colorado, this funding will help support the grantee’s recovery.
