Arts Fund 2020 grants will help ensure the continuity and sustainability of our region’s arts organizations by awarding emergency grants through a simplified and expedited application and process.
The Arts Fund for East Tennessee was established in 1986 to serve as a source of funds to support excellence in the arts, expand access to the arts, and connect artists with each other and with East Tennessee communities.
