Austin’s $23M Arts Grant Opens Now | Austin News

Austin’s arts scene just got a $23 million lifeline—thanks to new grants funded by hotel taxes, designed to reflect real community needs. After listening to artists through “The Creative Reset,” ACME made grants more accessible with Spanish navigators, tech support, and community reviewers. Four programs—Live Music Fund, Elevate, Heritage Grants, and Thrive—offer $5K to $250K for artists, musicians, nonprofits, and creative businesses. Apply now through August 18 at austintexas.gov/acme. Workshops and one-on-one help are also available to level the playing field.
