FY27 Elevate Grant Workshop (In-Person)

Austin Arts, Culture, Music, and Entertainment (ACME) is holding an in-person workshop on the FY27 Elevate Grant on Monday, July 27, at the Carver Branch of the Austin Public Library. It's geared toward artists, arts groups, and professional musicians who are planning to apply for the grant this cycle.

The session does two things: it gives an overview of the FY27 Elevate Grant guidelines, and then it walks applicants through the application process. Along the way, the presenters show how ACME's grant programs can support your work. If you've been staring at the guidelines and wondering where to start, this is the place to get those questions answered in person rather than figuring it out on your own.

It's a practical session, so it's most useful if you're actually planning to put in an application. The focus is on the specifics of the FY27 cycle—the guidelines you'll be graded on and the steps you'll need to take to get your materials submitted. ACME is the one running the whole thing, so the information comes straight from the source.

The workshop runs from 6 PM to 7:30 PM at the Carver Branch, 1161 Angelina Street, Austin, TX 78702. There's an RSVP available, so you'll want to sign up ahead of time.
