DC Creates Public Art, Creates Community Too

The NoMA Business Improvement District (NoMA BID) was recently awarded a PABC grant from DC Creates Public Art. Check out this article in the Washington Business Journal.


The recently created Public Art Building Communities (PABC) grant offers funds to create and install permanent public art projects. It is an opportunity for artists to realize a unique vision with support from DC Creates Public Art. While not the only grant offered by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH), it is the only grant related specifically to Public Art.


The goal of the PABC grant is to foster and deepen a relationship between artists and their communities, and to encourage an innovative approach to public art. Grants are awarded once per year.
