The Arts and Cultural Alliance has established this grant program to provide assistance to Sarasota County nonprofit arts and cultural organizations for artistic projects. The funding for this grant is from the State of the Arts License Plates Fund in Sarasota County and other funds. The Opportunity Grant is intended for organizations that do not qualify or did not receive the Tourist Development Cultural/Arts Grant. The program provides support for the organization’s projects that demonstrate artistic merit, community involvement and administrative competence.  It is expected that all programming within our arts and cultural community will help create an environment that is attractive to tourists and visitors from outside our county.
