Welcome to theCity of AuroraColorado

The application period for the city of Aurora’s 2023 Northwest Aurora Arts Grant Program is now open.

Other than restrictions that apply to all government funding (open to the public, non-discrimination, ADA accessibility, non-religious, etc.), the only other requirements are that grant funds must be used to support arts and culture programs and services and those programs and services must take place within the Aurora Cultural Arts District (the section of northwest Aurora bounded by 13th Avenue to the south, 16th Avenue including City Park to the north, Boston Street to the west and Geneva Street to the east).

Acknowledgement of City of Aurora Funding

All grantees are required to acknowledge the city of Aurora in printed materials, publications, advertisements and signage related to the funded programs and/or services.  Grantees are prohibited from acknowledging the city of Aurora as a funder, sponsor, contributor or any other type of supporter for any program or service other than those specifically set forth in the Application and Agreement.  Acknowledgements may take the form of a statement such as “Financial support for [name of organization or project] is provided in part by the city of Aurora.”  The city of Aurora logo (click here and select "City Seal" for logo) may be used in addition to a statement or instead of a statement when space is limited.
