The PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) is providing a recovery grant opportunity through the CFA. The PA Arts and Culture Recovery Grant for Working Artists is a $3,000 grant opportunity for artists and creative entrepreneurs who experienced a significant disruption to their income due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This opportunity is open to full-time residents of Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fayette, Somerset, or Westmoreland counties who are active artists or creative entrepreneurs and who made a majority of their income from their creative work in 2019.

“We are pleased that the DCED is able to offer this one-time opportunity for our local artists and creative entrepreneurs,” said CFA Program Officer Emily Wood. “We are always appreciative of opportunities to continue supporting artists and small businesses owners within our region, especially those who were affected by the pandemic.”

We will accept applications from October 1 – November 30, 2024. Applicants can apply on our grants page. Contact Emily Wood at ewood@cfalleghenies.org or 814-208-8448 with any questions or for more information.
