Project Funding

The Erie Arts Endowment supports arts project funding through the Unrestricted Fund/McCain Fund, the Clarence E. Beyers Music Performance Fund, the Virginia Vieser Arts Education Fund and sub funds for individual arts organizations.

The goals of the Erie Arts Endowment are to:

• Expand access to the arts
• Enable arts programs to occur (financial support)
• Encourage quality and variety in arts programming
• Encourage diversity in arts audiences
• Support new and innovative projects
• Increase awareness of Erie Arts Endowment and the Arts Council of Erie

To be eligible for Erie Arts Endowment funding, an organization must meet a set of qualifications.
