The Williamsburg Area Arts Commission is now accepting fiscal year 2027 applications for funding. All nonprofit arts and cultural organizations serving the greater Williamsburg area are eligible to apply. As part of a return to pre-pandemic guidelines and criteria, the commission is no longer accepting requests for general operating support. Only applications for specific projects, programs or performances will be considered, the city said. The commission is funded in partnership with the city and James City County, as well as a state grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, and provides various artistic events such as art exhibitions and dance concerts to the Williamsburg area. “They are not only delightful programs for citizens to enjoy, but they also illustrate the artistic culture available to the community and to the many tourists who visit the area,” said commission Chair Thomas Phelps. “With support from the Williamsburg Area Arts Commission, these opportunities are widely available to the public.” All requests musts be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 1.
