Program areas at CultureWorks

The CultureWorks Grants Program was developed with the intent to support smaller 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, with limited resources and operating budgets less than $750,000, as well as funding for individual practicing artists. With few sources of support available in the Richmond Region focused entirely on helping small to mid-size arts and culture organizations, the Grants Program is able to fulfill this need and fund quality programs, events and initiatives for our community. Grant funding is available to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and individual artists in the Richmond Region and focuses on two funding priorities - Cultural Equity and Building Capabilities.
ArtoberVA is a month-long celebration of arts and culture across the Richmond and Tri-Cities region. It provides a common marketing platform that enables the promotion of hundreds, even thousands, of arts and culture events presented by the full spectrum of non-profit arts and culture organizations and artists in our region. The goal of the event is to engage the public in these arts and culture events during ArtoberVA, and throughout the year which leads to greater economic, educational and social impacts in our region.
The city of Richmond and the counties of Hanover, Henrico and Chesterfield provide financial support annually. These funds were allocated for general operating support to the full member organizations of the arts and culture funding consortium. This consortium is the only designated entity able to administer the combined public funding of the community arts and cultural organizations.
Other program services include monthly virtual coffee educational hours, quarterly networking events, Tri-Cities Arts & Culture Action Plan, AEP6 Economic Impact Study, and other collaborative, educational or advocacy programs supporting arts and culture nonprofit organizations and artists.
