General Operating Support Programs

Dear Colleagues,

As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to create a new reality for all of us, artists continue to provide innovative, virtual solutions to keep us connected in this time of social distancing. However, we know how tough this public health crisis has been for artists, their work and their livelihood.

Dear Colleagues,

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) just released the CARES Act Guidelines for grants to arts organizations to preserve artistic and administrative jobs and to cover facilities costs, such as rent and utilities. There is a quick turn-around on the application process with requests due on April 22nd (the full timetable is outlined below).

Apply now! The grants registration requirements that must be completed to apply to the NEA have been relaxed for CARES Act grants but still must be addressed. This is detailed in the NEA’s guidelines.

Dear Colleagues,

The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs is launching  COVID-19 Survey of Impact on Miami-Dade County's Cultural Community (CO-SIC), a monthly survey to  collect vital data on the pandemic’s financial impact on Greater Miami’s arts community.  Information gathered through the Survey will help substantiate the need for recovery resources for Miami-Dade based nonprofit cultural institutions and arts organizations.
