The Cultural Division’s Arts and 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 equitable access to funding for community arts and cultural events in a manner that promotes community building, collaboration, and economic growth and development among the cultural community and small businesses. Proposals must demonstrate arts & cultural, community, and economic impact to Broward County, demonstrate audience engagement, and reflect a high level of excellence that furthers the arts and cultural image of the County.
