Through these RFPs, we assemble expert peer panels to adjudicate the merits of each proposal through a transparent scoring rubric. Selected vendors with well estimated-projects, in which the City investment is made with civic funds for arts and cultural projects throughout the City, are awarded a one-year contract for services or one-time event agreement. Currently, within the overall portfolio we offer opportunities: for neighborhood activists to propose new events or pop-ups that will uplift a blighted street intersection or corridor (arts activation fund); for artists to propose community-engagement activities (artist residencies); for master artists to propose new solo projects (artist fellowships), for outdoor festival\/parade collaborations between community-service organizations and local arts experts; and for nonprofit arts organizations to propose artistic projects or operating projects. All DCA-funded projects should highlight one of the following categories: culture\/history, dance, design\/visual arts, literature, media arts, music, theater, traditional\/folk arts, or multi-disciplinary\/variety arts. When appropriate, we ask that applicants select a special category such as the Sequential Arts in-school learning Culminating in Afterschool Public Events (SAIL-CAPE), formerly known as Arts Education. Or Arts Field Advocacy &amp; Sector learning (FASL), formerly known as Business\/Arts Advocacy. Special RFP\u2019s are also occasionally posted (often for unique positions such as Poet Laureate).<\/p>\n<p>Our annual goal is to co-sponsor at least 1,500 public activities (unique access points). Collectively these \u201cservices\u201d are: A) a spectrum of well-estimated creative projects that are target-marketed to community audiences, visitors, and\/or tourists, as well as B) free or low-cost (which we describe as approximately the cost of a local commercial movie-ticket).<\/p>\n<p>The service-expenses best aligned with DCA\u2019s Grant Program objectives are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>payments to creative artists, technicians, and project managers,<\/li>\n<li>venue or equipment rental fees,<\/li>\n<li>marketing costs, and\/or<\/li>\n<li>project-evaluation expenditures (that assess satisfaction with: participatory opportunities or interactivity, community-minded education, relevant themes, and\/or potential outreach-engagement).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DCA GRANT PROGRAMS The purpose of DCA\u2019s Grants Division is to offer a variety of different Requests for Proposals\u201d RFPs\u201d (which we call Grant Guidelines).
