KAC supports public art programs across all Kansas communities. This program is designed to utilize artists and arts organizations to increase community vibrancy and provide space for artistic expression and public engagement.
See the Kansas Mural Making Guide for more information and technical assistance with public art projects.
Visit the Kansas Murals Map for information about funded projects and the Office of Rural Prosperity’s Rural Mural program.
Maximum Request – $10,000
KAC requires that all grants are matched at a minimum of 1:1 through a combination of cash and in-kind expenses. For example, if your grant request is $10,000, your organization would be expected to spend $10,000 in expenses from other non-state and non-federal sources towards the project, for total project expenses of $20,000. This can include any allowable in-kind goods or services.
Applicant organizations based in a Rural Opportunity Zone may claim in-kind non-monetary donations as up to 100% of the required matching funds.
