The Folk & Traditional Arts Project Grant supports Colorado-based artists, collectives, and organizations working to celebrate, sustain, and document cultural heritage. With up to $3,000 in funding (no match required), the program backs projects that create, present, or teach folk and traditional arts, as well as those that document community traditions through oral histories, archives, and multimedia storytelling.
Rooted in community engagement, funded projects should reflect lived cultural practices and involve the people and traditions they represent. Ideal proposals center storytelling, intergenerational knowledge, and meaningful public access—whether through workshops, performances, or documentary work.
Applications are open January 27–April 14, 2026, with projects to be completed by June 2027.
