Art Tag Grant Program Application Fiscal Year 2027

The Alachua County Board of County Commissioners, in partnership with the Arts Council of Alachua County (ACAC), is pleased to announce the 2026/2027 Arts Tag grant program. The ACAC is serving as a Local Arts Agency (LAA) to grant $10,000 provided by Visit Gainesville, Alachua County, FL, and $4,000 in “State of the Arts” license plate sales, totaling $14,000. Funds will be distributed to provide financial support to Alachua County resident artists, not-for-profit arts organizations, and the cities of Alachua, Archer, Hawthorne, High Springs, LaCrosse, Micanopy, Newberry, and Waldo for public art projects. The Art Grant program aims to improve Alachua County’s arts activities to increase access to a wide range of diverse arts experiences, especially in underserved communities. Access to arts and culture can foster the growth of the creative economy, encourage cultural entrepreneurship, and stimulate business development or relationships in related sectors.
