Thank you to everyone who applied to the Creative Growth Fellowship program. This grant opportunity received 883 eligible applications, reflecting the great interest and need for funding amongst the arts community.
Due to the limited funding available, we were only able to fund 200 artists. All submissions were reviewed through an independent and rigorous panel process. Panelists represented a diverse range of expertise and perspectives and they approached their reviews with professionalism, care, and thoughtful consideration. Top scoring applications were entered into a lottery process, where 200 submissions were randomly chosen.
Funding Period: September 1, 2025 – August 31, 2026. At this moment, there are no plans for a second round.
About the Program: The Creative Growth Fellowship program offers a stipend for artists living within the City of Sacramento. The program supports 200 artists with $850 monthly payments over the course of 12 months. These payments 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 – were eligible.
