Thanks to the generous support of our donors, grants from foundations, and our corporate sponsors, we are able to share the arts with our community through our Arts for All initiatives.
Arts for All grants are our way of ensuring that everyone has access to the arts, no matter their background or income. Grants are provided to community groups, schools, and individuals to remove financial barriers. Grant requests may include tickets, workshops and other Blumenthal experiences.
We will accept requests for Arts for All funding at any time and subsidies will be granted at the sole discretion of Blumenthal Performing Arts Education Department. As a general rule, we will grant one request per quarter, per requesting family or individual. We continue to receive requests from an increasing number of community organizations and families throughout the year and this policy will allow us to serve a greater number of community members for the duration of the season. We ask that you only request the number of tickets that you will actually utilize. Non-use of tickets may deem your family ineligible for future Arts for All opportunities. Tickets will be granted to families living in the Charlotte metropolitan area, within a 30-mile radius of Charlotte city center.
Because our fiscal year runs from September 1 to August 31, the quarters fall as follows:
- September-November
- December-February
- March-May
- June-August
Thank you for your understanding.
