MICRO-GRANTS MAKE A MIGHTY DIFFERENCE.

The SBMA micro-grant directly responds to a critical need reflected in the local creative community.  The SBMA micro-grant is a timely, critical method of support to ensure that the creative projects, partnerships, and performances that artists create, not only see the light of day, but create a beneficial resource for creative “artrepreneurs” to persist and thrive.  The SBMA micro-grant program was developed to limit the likelihood that artists will quit or further delay projects or professional development that would limit their participation in the city’s creative endeavors and opportunities. 

Past award recipients have not only utilized funds to create work, but feedback confirmed that there was an intrinsic value to receiving a micro-grant (no matter the amount) that motivated them to persist overall.  We know that micro-funding, provided in a timely manner and accompanied by ongoing resource connections, can make a mighty difference.

SBMA’S MICRO-GRANT PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD AND WE WILL NOT BE HOSTING A GRANT CYCLE AT THIS TIME.
