The Salida Council for the Arts is now accepting applications for its 2026 Community Grants program.

Grants of up to $500 are available for locally focused, culturally based creative projects. Organizers note that funding is intended for specific projects, not for general operating expenses of artists or arts organizations.

Applicants do not need to reside in Salida, but proposed projects must demonstrate a clear connection to and benefit for the Salida community.

Applications are due by May 15 and can be found on the organization’s website.
