The Kirkland Cultural Arts Commission seeks innovative and creative art events and activations that showcase Kirkland’s arts, culture, and heritage.

Artists and arts organizations who have a unique proposal that promotes performance art, literary art, and other artistic ventures can apply for funding available through the Commission. The Cultural Arts Commission will give special interest to programs that expose art to new audiences.

Proposals are due by 4 p.m. on July 13. The Commission has up two $1,000 grants available in funding. Proposed activities must occur within Kirkland city limits and occur before Dec. 15.

The grant application form is available online (PDF) at www.kirklandwa.gov or by contacting Ellen Miller-Wolfe at emwolfe@kirklandwa.gov or 425-587-3014.

The Commission will consider all proposals and make determinations at its July 15, 2015 meeting to be held at Kirkland City Hall, 123 5th Avenue, Rose Hill Room, 4 to 6 p.m.
