BOPA provides grants to individual artists, arts organizations, and venues throughout Baltimore City to produce free arts & cultural events that are open to the public. Free Fall showcases the importance of accessible arts programming with free concerts, dance and theater performances, festivals, lectures, workshops, art exhibitions, special events, and more.
Individual artists/creatives can apply for this grant if their event is free, open to the public, and located in a venue or public space in Baltimore City. Baltimore City-based arts & cultural organizations and event venues/spaces with annual operating budgets under $300,000 are also eligible to apply for grant funds to produce a Free Fall event.
BOPA provides an opportunity for organizations with operating budgets over $300,000 to participate in Free Fall Baltimore by promoting their events and incorporating them into the Free Fall calendar.
