Applications for the 2027 state arts and history grants are now available through the Atlantic County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, which regranted more than $229,000 to successful local non-profit applicants in 2026 for programs and projects that promote art or history and provide public benefit and accessibility.

To help organizations develop and enhance their funding proposals, a free grant workshop will be offered virtually on August 27, 2026, to assist with certain components of the grant proposal. For current 2026 regrantees, the office recommends attendance due to updated application forms. For all other applicants, workshop attendance is mandatory. Registration is required.

To register for the workshop and access the downloadable guidelines and application forms, go to http://www.atlanticcountynj.gov/government/county-departments/department-of-executive-and-administrator/office-of-cultural-and-heritage-affairs/arts-and-history-grant-information.

Grant funding is provided through New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the New Jersey Historical Commission. The deadline for submission of all grant applications is October 9, 2026.
