Since 2011, the Creative Catalyst Program has granted almost $700,000 to strengthen the arts culture of San Diego. The program provides opportunities for local professional artists to create work that advances their careers, increases civic engagement and enriches quality of life. The program has supported nearly 30 regional arts organizations and 40 individual artists, reaching more than 170,000 community members through staged readings, exhibitions and workshops.
The Creative Catalyst Program will grant up to $20,000 per collaborative project between qualifying sponsoring organizations and artists.
