Dear members of Louisville Metro's arts & culture community,
Louisville Metro's Office of Arts + Creative Industries is excited to announce the opening of the FY27 Cycle of External Agency Fund grants. Additional information on this opportunity, and the new cycle can be found below, and on OACI's Grants Webpage.
The FY27 Application will open on January 12, 2026, at 12:00 AM.
The deadline to receive all application materials will be February 24, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
For returning applicants, the format of the opportunity will remain largely consistent with last year's cycle. The application will once again be processed through the Euna Grants Portal, awards will come in $25,000 or $50,000 tiers, funding will be eligible for operational expenses, and our focus remains on serving arts & cultural organizations primarily.
OACI and the Mayor's Office have worked to collect and implement feedback from last cycle's grant applicants, and as a result we have developed new tools, resources, and opportunities for applicants this cycle. During the application period, several sessions are planned for the benefit of prospective applicants, including Q&A sessions, grantwriting workshops, technical trainings on the Euna Grants Portal, and Pre-Deadline Office Hours for any last-minute application headaches. To learn more about the timing of these sessions and access the links to join, visit the Grant Timeline tab on the OACI Grants Webpage.
