The Cultural Alliance of Greater Birmingham and the Kresge Foundation of Troy, Michigan are accepting applications for the Kresge Arts in Birmingham program.

The program is part of a community arts and civic engagement project the Kresge Foundation is piloting in selected U.S. locations to encourage residents to use art and culture as a tool to address community issues. The project is designed to test Kresge’s belief that grassroots arts and cultural projects can be an effective tool to unite communities, address pressing social issues, and nourish residents’ spirits in difficult times.

Over the next two years, Kresge will fund grants ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 each for community arts projects that strive to address Birmingham’s pressing issues as determined by its citizens.

Individuals and groups, including all types of arts and cultural professionals, neighborhood associations, service agencies, community development groups, and arts and cultural organizations, are encouraged to apply.

Visit the Cultural Alliance Web site for complete guidelines and application instructions.
