Description

The Creative Heights grants provide opportunities for artists and culture bearers to stretch their creative capacity, share new works and test new ideas. Creative Heights grants are for the creation and/or presentation of new and innovative performances, exhibitions, programs, and other works of art and culture. OCF is interested in reviewing proposals for a range of funding levels and timelines to best serve the specific needs of proposed projects. Project funding may be spent over a period of two years and can support any artistic or cultural expression, including visual, dance, folk and traditional arts, film/video/media, literary arts, museum exhibitions, music, theatre and performance arts, history and heritage, and multidisciplinary or emerging fields. Individuals, collectives or organizations may submit a Letter of Inquiry for Creative Heights funding. If selected to submit a full application, applicants must identify a potential Oregon-based 501(c)3 nonprofit partner to receive funds. Selected proposals will be invited to submit a full application in early April. The full application will include a detailed project budget, project plan, bios from lead collaborators, work samples and a tentative timeline. For applicants that are not affiliated with nonprofit organizations, a letter of commitment and a fiscal sponsorship agreement from a sponsor nonprofit is required with the full application. Full applications (by invitation only) will be due May 24, 2024. Please visit the award's website for more information.
