Amador Arts Grants
From 2012 to 2024, Amador County Arts Council ran a growing grant-making program that provided supportive-funding to dozens of projects and organizations throughout Amdaor Arts. This program was discontinued in 2025 due to the state deficit and resulting budget cuts to California Arts Council which had an immediate impact on Amador County Arts Council and other arts organizations throughout the state. This program was cut in order for us to sustain the essential county arts council scope-of-work as outlined in the State Local Partnership.
The purpose of the Amador Arts Grant is to increase access to the arts for youth and young adults age 0 to 26.
For more information about our grants, please book an appointment with Executive Director, Meghan Joy “mojo” O’Keefe by clicking here.
The Amador Arts Wyman Dickerson Scholarships are small grants that fund local youth pursuing any discipline of the arts in college. See your school-site counselor about our scholarship grants. The Amador Arts Wyman Dickerson Scholarships prioritize funding to students with demonstrated financial need.
