The Arts & Cultural Festival and Special Event Sponsorship Program is designed to provide startup and matching funds for expenses relating to the planning and execution of arts and cultural festivals and special events throughout Broward County. The goal of this Program is to provide funding for community arts and cultural events in a fair manner that promotes community building, collaboration, and economic growth and development among the cultural and business communities. Proposals must clearly demonstrate their impact on the arts, culture, community, and economy of Broward County, ensure audience engagement, and reflect a high standard of excellence that enhances the County’s cultural image. View additional details and guidelines.

Events that may not be funded by the County under applicable law, including without limitation Section 125.595, Florida Statutes.
