AIS is a collaborative grant-making program that fosters cross-sector work through the arts by supporting the integration of arts and culture into multiple disciplines critical to the health and well-being of Coloradans.

Administered by RedLine and funded by a cohort of Colorado foundations.
Arts in Society support
In addition to receiving project funding, Arts in Society grantees benefit from the following resources:
- Learning Community Meetings
- Arts in Society grantees participate in a learning community program through which they meet three times with their annual cohort of grantees throughout the first year following funding. Through these meetings they share resources and learnings, and build a coalition of support.
- Evaluation Support
- Through a collaboration with University of Colorado Denver’s School of Arts and Media, Arts in Society grantees are provided an evaluation toolkit to aid in collecting program feedback and data.
- Mini-Documentaries
- All Arts in Society grantees will get assistance in filming a 2-minute documentary so that they can share their work with the world.
- Marketing and Communications
- Grantees receive marketing and communications support through various Arts in Society marketing channels, including the Arts in Society Facebook page, Instagram, and by contributing blog posts to the Arts in Society blog.
Funding Information
Grants will range from $5,000-$35,000 depending on the project.
Eligibility Criteria
- Arts in Society is open to nonprofits and individuals. Basically, all who reside in the state of Colorado can apply. You do NOT need to be an arts organization. It encourages applications from individual artists, non-arts organizations like human service groups, neighborhood organizations or healthcare organizations (as examples).
- Colorado artists, activists, non-profit organizations, universities, schools, and government agencies are all eligible to apply. Previous Arts in Society grant recipients are welcome to apply.
