The Old Town Advancement Commission values the role of art in the community and seeks to foster art within Old Town Winchester. To support this goal, the OTAC has recommended the City apply yearly for a Virginia Commission for the Arts Creative Communities Partnership Grant of $4,500. When and if received, a matching $5,000 is put forward from the Old Town budget for a total of $9,500. The grant funding may then be awarded to any independent arts organization with a non-profit status, and can be spent to support arts activities occurring inside of the Old Town Winchester Special Assessment Districts. Funds may be spent in any way to support the qualifying activity, with the exception of paying performers.
The City has regularly been awarded a grant in the past and as recently as 2020. Previous recipients of the grant include Arte Libre VA, First Night Winchester, Skyline Indie Film Festival, the Shenandoah Arts Council, Bluemont Concerts, and the Arts Chorale of Winchester.
Grant Period
The funds cannot be used to pay a performer for a specific performance; the funds must be spent between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023.
Eligibility Criteria
- Proposed art activity must take place within the Primary or Secondary Assessment Districts in Old Town Winchester.
- Organization applying for funds must be a non-profit independent art organization.
