The Reedsburg Art Committee invites the public to apply for grants.

Funding is available for larger, permanent projects. Individuals and organizations may apply for these projects, which will be judged competitively. Awards go up to $3,000.

For smaller projects, applicants can try for a mini In-Cahoots grant. This funding is available to bring art features to Reedsburg celebrations and events such as Butterfest, Living Windows, Lazy Beaver Canoe Race, FreedomFest, Community Tree Lighting and others. Grants are limited to $500.

For a short time, the committee will continue to hold its 2020 Challenge Grant, which funds art project that memorialize the challenges faced by Reedsburg residents in 2020.

Applications can be found at Reedsburg City Hall or online at Reedsburgwi.gov.
