The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) has awarded $119,380 in Arts Equity Grants to 21 organizations for activities that advance RACC’s goals for equity in Portland and Multnomah County. These grants are funded by City of Portland’s Arts Education & Access Fund, along with support from Multnomah County. The Arts Equity Grant program is an evolution of RACC’s former Expanding Cultural Access program.

Of the 21 organizations that were selected for grant awards, 11 are receiving RACC support for the first time. READ MORE
