The Colorado Arts Relief Fund provides $15.5 million for the second round of funding to support arts, cultural and entertainment artists, crew members, and organizations affected by the COVID‑19 pandemic. This program already provided $7.5 million in early 2021 in its first round of funding.
Funding through this bill will be distributed through two separate grant applications:
- Colorado Arts ReliefCBusiness and Organization
- Colorado Arts ReliefCIndividuals
This funding initiative was passed by the State of Colorado legislature and created in Section 1‑24‑48.5‑116, enacted by HB21‑1285.
Applications are expected to open in mid‑August. CCI staff is working on finalizing the updated guidelines. Check back for updates or sign up for the Colorado Creative Industries newsletter.
