The Creative Growth Fellowship Program will offer a stipend for artists living within the City of Sacramento. The program will support up to 200 artists with $850 monthly payments over the course of 12 months. These payments can be used as a supplement to provide financial support for artists to pursue and advance their career in the arts. Artists from a multitude of disciplines – including craft, performing arts, design, film, music, literary, and visual arts – may apply.

The guidelines are now available in English and Spanish. Please read through them carefully and review the FAQ page which will be updated regularly. If you still have questions after reviewing these documents, please contact us at creativegrowth@cityofsacramento.org. We strongly advise interested applicants to draft their application answers and gather their work samples before the online application portal opens in June.

The application portal is now open. Once you have read the guidelines and FAQ completely, please visit https://cgf.aidkit.org/apply to begin your application. If you have begun your application in Aidkit and need assistance, please submit a support ticket in the application portal by emailing support@cgf.aidkit.org. You may also text or leave a voicemail at 916-571-6874. Support tickets will be responded to during general business hours on Monday - Friday, and will not be responded to outside of these hours, on weekends, or holidays. Please note that any inquiries submitted after 3pm on June 19th may not receive a response.
