Artists, festival organizers and nonprofits encouraged to apply for Berkeley art grants

Let a thousand flowers — or festivals, arts programs and works of art — bloom in Berkeley, the city’s Civic Arts Program is saying.

Actually, it might not be as many as a thousand, but artists, festival organizers and nonprofits seeking to make arts part of their programs can apply for one-time grants through the program to support their work and strengthen the city’s arts culture.
