PA Partners in the Arts Project Stream (PA Partners)
  There are significant changes in submission and eligibility guidelines this year.

Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts Project Stream (PA Partners) is a regranting program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) and administered in Allegheny County by the Arts Council. Its goal is to make arts programs available to every Commonwealth resident, with a focus on previously underserved communities and regions in Pennsylvania. PA Partners provides grants of up to $3,000 for arts projects that take place in Allegheny County. All projects must be publicized and open to the general public, and must take place between September 1 and August 31. The application postmark deadline is June 30. If the postmark deadline falls on a Sunday or holiday, the deadline is the next business day.
