The Port Townsend Arts Commission is dedicated to supporting arts that have a recognized quality and significant connection to the City.

PTAC has $30,000 to distribute in grant support in 2026. Because grants must be expended by the end of the calendar year, it has weighted the earlier rounds with more available funding to account for the longer timeline for projects to occur. If you are ready to apply, you may apply in any round regardless of when during 2026 your project takes place.
