The City of Lewisville is rolling out its Arts Support Grants for the fiscal year 2025-26, and the application portal is open for business as of March 3. If you're part of a nonprofit arts organization and you've got a fresh idea for a program, event, or exhibition within Lewisville's city limits, this is your chance to snag some municipal support. But keep the clock on your side: the application window shuts tight on Thursday, April 24, at 5 p.m.
A glance at last year's numbers, and you'll find that the city doled out ten grants totaling $125,000, as reported by the City of Lewisville. It's clear Lewisville isn't horsing around when it comes to fostering local arts. The Arts Advisory Board takes on the hefty task of reviewing all applications each spring. Their recommendations get funneled into the annual budget, ultimately landing on the City Council's desk for final say-so.
Feeling up to the task? Here are the hoops you need to jump through: be a nonprofit with tax-exempt status, propose a Lewisville-based event (although, with a nod from the City Council, you can step outside city lines), have a track record of fulfilling past commitments to the city, showcase local representation in your board, and have attended the pre-application training session. Oh, and let's not forget a minimum two-year streak of public events in Lewisville. If you've got all that in the bag, you might just be golden.
