OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS UPDATES...

Annual Arts Organization Funding
At their October 19 meeting, we expect that City Council will authorize
contracts with the 18 local arts agencies that will receive city arts
funding through the OCA’s annual process. We will be sending the
contracts by the end of October, along with instructions for completing
narrative and budget revisions. Organizations must return signed
contracts and required revisions before an initial payment can be made.

Small Request Arts Funding
The next deadline for Small Request arts funding is December
10...requests may be for up to $500 and must follow the below-listed
guidelines. Proposed projects should be innovative, unique and represent
a one-time opportunity for the community. Call 573-874-6386 for an
application and guidelines, or use the on-line form at
www.GoColumbiaMo.com (on the Cultural Affairs page).
●	Funding is limited to one request per project. Multiple projects
from the same agency are allowed.
●	Funds are available to agencies with total annual budgets of no
more than $500,000 and only to arts agencies. Collaborations are
allowed, but only with an arts organization holding a 501c3 status as
the lead agency.
●	OCA does not fund capital outlay or perishable items.
