2025 PROJECT GRANT AWARDS

The Gwinnett Creativity Fund Project Grants provides much-needed support for arts and cultural projects, initiatives, or programming. Projects range from one-time events (festival or cultural events), an event series (classes, arts programming) to ongoing arts initiatives (theatre seasons, film/TV training or film festivals.)

For the 2025 Project Grant Cycle, we are pleased to announce funding for twenty-five (25) organizations of over $180,000!

Here are the “Big Check” photos for 2025 Award Recipients.
