BRING MORE ART TO THE STREETS!

FLASH GRANTS FOR ARTISTS fund small, but impactful, guerrilla-style ART HAPPENINGS that BRING MORE ART TO the streets AND TO THE PEOPLE IN Telluride. 

Grants range from $50-$300, and will be offered through an easy application process, and a quick turnaround so you have the cash you need to create something wonderful, unexpected, and imaginative. Projects can include, but are certainly not limited to, site-specific performance, poetry readings, temporary art installations, interactive activities, mini-dances, music performances, and much more!

Applications are accepted and will be awarded by a peer committee of local artists, on a rolling basis while funds are available. This program is part of the Telluride Arts Small Grant program, an investment to develop the expertise of local artists funded by the Town of Telluride and administered by Telluride Arts.
