Art Grants

The Liberty Arts Commission is the arts advocacy agency for the City of Liberty. We serve as a catalyst - to support, sustain and strengthen our community by increasing awareness, opportunities and public involvement in local arts and cultural activities.

Art Grant Mission: Through a competitive grant evaluation process, support will be awarded to arts events and projects designed to increase tourism and encourage participation in the arts by residents and visitors to our the City of Liberty. 

Grant recipients will be chosen based on artistic excellence, accomplishments to date, the promise of future achievement, accessibility to the public and likelihood of increasing tourism to the City of Liberty.

The art grants are funded through the Transient Guest Tax that is collected from local hotels, motels and bed & breakfast inns for the purpose of promoting tourism to Liberty.
