The Newport News Arts Commission oversees the annual grant process where local, regional, and state organizations can apply for City grants to support arts programs. This support takes the form of General Operating Support Grants and Special Project Grants. General Operating Support Grants are awarded to support the general operations of arts groups and facilities. Special Project Grants are awarded for special arts projects. Organizations interested in applying for grants should call (757) 926-1400 to receive an application. The Newport News Arts Commission forwards funding recommendations to the City Council for approval. Grants are awarded in July.
