About the Cultural Arts Grant Program

The City of Lubbock’s Cultural Arts Grant Program, as administered by Civic Lubbock, Inc., provides local cultural organizations with financial support for projects that promote tourism and the arts and humanities in Lubbock.

Funding for the Cultural Arts Grant Program comes from Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) that is collected from local hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast inns. The revenues from Hotel Occupancy Tax can only be used for certain expenditures as outlined by the State of Texas Tax Code 351.101

Eligibility

  • Applying organizations must be a 501(c) 3 tax exempt organization or government equivalent and actively pursuing its goals as a chartered organization for at least one year prior to applying.
  • The project must directly enhance and promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry, i.e. a project that is likely to draw tourists and hotel guests.
  • The project must fit into the Tax Code 351.101(a)(4) funding category that enhances the Arts.
  • Applicants must be in good standing with both the City of Lubbock and Civic Lubbock, Inc. at the time applications are considered.

2022 Cultural Arts Grant Program

Civic Lubbock, Inc. is now taking grant applications for the 2022 Cultural Arts Grant Program. 
 

If you did not submit a grant application in 2021, but have submitted applications in the past, there were a few changes to the Grant Program and the Application Process effective with the 2021 program. Those changes  were:

  • Applications will be accepted once a year with a submission deadline of June 1. Should June 1 fall on a Saturday or Sunday of any given year, applications will be due the preceding Friday.
  • The annual grant cycle will cover projects that take place between September 1 and August 31 following the June 1 application deadline.
  • The Pre-Application Grant Workshop is mandatory for first time applicants only.
    This includes representatives from organizations that are first time applicants and staff members of past recipient organizations who are new to the grant process.
        *Note: Representatives from past grant recipient organizations are welcome to attend
          the  workshop, but it is not mandatory.

The deadline to submit grant applications for the 2022 Cultural Arts Grant Program will be Wednesday, June 1, 2021, but earlier submission aids in the processing.

The 2022 Grant Cycle will be for projects that take place between September 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023. 

The Pre-Application Cultural Arts Grant Workshop for First Time Applicants is scheduled for Monday, May 2, 2022 at 4:00PM in Meeting Room 107 at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.
