Together, we will craft Boulder’s social, physical, and cultural environment to include creativity as an essential ingredient for the well being, prosperity, and joy of everyone in the community.
Boulder Arts Commission Grant Program Feedback
The Boulder Arts Commission and staff of the Office of Arts + Culture are seeking feedback on the 2022 Grants Program. Each year, we gather input on the grant process – from the application to panel process to reporting – from community members and integrate it into our program. To offer your input, please complete this survey no later than Monday, Aug. 8 at noon.
Artist Hiring Incentive Grants
The Artist Hiring Incentive Grants are designed to respond to industry-specific, COVID-related workforce impacts through targeted grants to Boulder-based organizations. This grant is a hiring incentive for nonprofits to employ Boulder-area visual, performing, and literary artists to perform or create new work.
The Boulder Arts Commission and the Office of Arts and Culture have adopted the Americans for the Arts Statement on Cultural Equity and will take steps to align the work of cultural affairs to these principles: To support a full creative life for all, we commit to championing policies and practices of cultural equity that empower a just, inclusive, equitable nation.

Outdoor dining, originally developed as a response to COVID-19, is being expanded through a five-year pilot program. The program will begin Sept. 1, 2022 and end on Oct. 31, 2027, unless extended by subsequent Boulder City Council Action. If your eligible business (restaurants, brewpubs, taverns, breweries, distilleries, and wineries) is planning to participate in the pilot program, are you looking for creative ideas for your outdoor enclosure? Check out the Office of Arts and Culture Restaurant Enclosure resource page.
