Arts Tourism Grants - New for 2027!

​

Nonprofit arts organizations who offer quality programs benefiting the citizens of Frisco and increasing arts tourism to Frisco qualify for the annual Frisco Arts Tourism grants. The funding for these grants comes from a percentage of the Hotel Occupancy Tax paid for by visitors to Frisco. The City of Frisco's Arts Tourism Grant program is transitioning management from Frisco Arts Foundation to the City of Frisco for this upcoming fiscal year. Both organizations will work together through this summer, with the grant program fully transferring to the City October 1, 2026. 

​

The Frisco City Council approved $1.25 per capita towards the Arts Tourism Grant Program, and the grant cycle aligns with the City of Frisco's Fiscal Year. Please note the grant cycle timeline below.  

 

All funded programs must occur in the City of Frisco to increase arts tourism.

 

The new grant cycle will open June 22, 2026, with funding available in October 2026 for programs through September 2027.
