ABOUT THE LOUISIANA PROJECT GRANTS PROGRAM
Louisiana Project Grants (previously DAF) are administered jointly with the Louisiana Division of the Arts. These grants support arts projects across the State. Arts New Orleans administers these grants for Region 1, which includes Orleans, Jefferson, and Plaquemines Parishes.
Applications are now closed.
Louisiana Project Grants, previously known as the Decentralized Arts Funding Program, provide funding to develop arts projects that meet local needs. The purpose of the program is to cultivate innovative arts projects that have a lasting impact within each region of our state.
