OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS UPDATES...

Annual Arts Organization Funding
At their October 18 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.
