ArtsBuild invites non-profit organizations in Hamilton County to apply for the Tennessee Arts Commission’s Arts Build Communities (ABC) grants of up to $5,000 for arts projects that broaden access to arts experiences, address community quality of life issues through the arts, or enhance sustainability of asset-based cultural enterprises.
Organizations must complete the grant application online by 11:59 p.m. EDT on July 1, 2026.
