To strengthen the cultural, educational, and economic vitality of Pennsylvania's communities through the arts.
The Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA) program, in partnership with local organizations across all 67 counties, re-grants PCA funds to support diverse local arts activities. The goals are to increase access to the arts, especially in underserved communities; support local decision-making in regranting arts dollars; raise awareness and advocacy for arts funding support at the state and local levels; and allow PCA to provide more comprehensive assistance statewide. The Creative Sector Flex Fund (CSFF) is targeted at PA arts organizations with annual revenues of $10,000 to $200,000. It offers $5,000 grants with flexibility in spending to address current organizational and community needs effectively. Application reviews focus on community value, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and stewardship, ensuring projects strengthen communities, foster inclusive practices, and demonstrate sound planning and management.
