About the ArtsEnhance Grant Program

The ArtsEnhance Grants program provides multiple opportunities for arts organizations to help build capacity and audiences through strategic marketing approaches. This year’s program was kicked off with a two-day long conference that took place at the Krause Center for Innovation at Foothill College in September, 2008. With over 100 members of the arts community in attendance, the conference began with strategy on incorporating new media into marketing efforts and was followed by topical break-out sessions led by lead professionals in the field. The second day included hands-on sessions leveraging software from Adobe to customize participants’ own materials. To be eligible for an ArtsEnhance grant, organizations were required to attend the conference.
