Seattle smART Ventures grant

smART ventures is a Seattle-based, flexible small awards program that aims to encourage innovative ideas, create community impact, and provide new access for individuals and groups not served by our other programs. Planting small seeds can yield big outcomes. smART ventures seeks to widen arts and culture participation, particularly of diverse or underserved communities. smART ventures provides support in the range of $500 to $1,000 for projects, opportunities, events proposed by individuals, groups, organizations or communities of interest that offer a potential arts or cultural impact within the city of Seattle and needing start-up or final investment funds. Events must be open to the public and take place within Seattle. Funds may NOT be used for food and drink, equipment purchase, religious services, fundraising, or for activity that takes place before a contract has been awarded.
