The Princeton Public Arts Commission recently announced the launch of its Community Art Grant Program to support local businesses and nonprofit organizations by bringing to life public art projects.

The program was created in response to the community’s growing interest in enhancing areas through public art. The grant’s goal is to support projects engaging residents and visitors, activate public space and contribute to the city’s beautification and identity.

Eligible art projects include sculptures, public art installations, murals and creative initiatives visible or accessible to the public and enhance the city of Princeton’s artistic landscape.

Grant applications are due Sunday, May 31. The grant recipients will be announced by Monday, June 15. The applications will also be reviewed by the Princeton Public Arts Commission.
