- Music: Musical performance and composition including orchestral music, opera, jazz, hip-hop, pop, rock, choral, electronic, and other contemporary music forms.
- Photography: The use of the photographic medium as the primary vehicle of artistic expression resulting in works produced for, but not limited to, archival, resource documentation, or exhibition purposes.
- Theater: All forms of theater including professional, regional companies and schools, experimental, street, puppets, musicals, comedy, and storytelling.
- Traditional and Folk Arts: The traditional, authentic, artistic activities and expressive customs indigenous or rooted to any group that shares the same ethnic heritage, language, religion, or geographic region. Genres of artistic activity include, but are not limited to, music, dance, crafts, and oral expression.
- Visual Arts: All forms of visual arts including painting, drawing, illustration, murals, sculpture, printmaking, and crafts.
- Interdisciplinary: This category is for projects that incorporate one or more arts disciplines or for projects that combine non-performing and visual arts disciplines with performing and visual arts disciplines (e.g., live art with open mic poetry, storytelling with media arts). The Interdisciplinary category also includes performance art and non-traditional formats and processes that transcend distinct art disciplines. In an interdisciplinary project, each art discipline interdependently contributes an essential element, which, without one arts discipline or the other, may otherwise be incomplete.
