Details:
The Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission was created in 1979, and is composed of eleven members appointed by City Council. The Commission funds organizations that provide quality programs and services to the citizens of Virginia Beach. The Commission views its assistance to organizations as that of a catalyst, helping to augment and strengthen private support of the arts and humanities. The Commission believes in a diversified funding base for cultural organizations, and that such funding demonstrates community support for the project. Organizations receiving funds from the Commission are expected to earn as much income from ticket sales/admission fees as feasible. Strong applicants will demonstrate the strength and diversity of support for the project within the community, and the proposed benefits of the projects to the citizens of Virginia Beach.
