To strengthen the cultural, educational, and economic vitality of Pennsylvania's communities through the arts.
The Statewide Creative Catalyst Grants aim to encourage and support projects and events that offer a potential for statewide impact within the arts and creative sector. This grant program supports special events or unique, strategic opportunities that align with the PCA's three goals: strengthening communities through the arts, connecting Pennsylvanians to lifelong learning through the arts, and championing the public awareness and appreciation of the arts. These grants are geared towards proposals that demonstrate a statewide benefit for Pennsylvania's creative sector and incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion. Proposals are reviewed quarterly, with funding recommendations presented at the PCA's quarterly Council meetings.
