The Tiffin Municipal Arts Commission (TMAC) is now accepting applications for its 2026 grant programs designed to support local arts initiatives, public placemaking projects, and artist development opportunities within the City of Tiffin.
Through two separate grant opportunities, TMAC aims to encourage creativity, strengthen community engagement through the arts, and support artists and organizations contributing to Tiffin’s growing arts and culture scene.
The TMAC Community Placemaking Grant will award up to $1,500 for arts-focused community projects that are free or low-cost and open to the public. Eligible projects may include concerts, festivals, public art installations, murals, performances, artist commissions, and other creative initiatives that contribute to Tiffin’s vibrancy and visibility as an arts destination.
TMAC is also offering an Artistic Development Grant of up to $500 to support artists who live in or attend school in the City of Tiffin. Funding may be used for professional development experiences and artistic materials, including conference attendance, artist residencies, studio equipment, software, instruments, and creative supplies.
Applications for both grant programs are now open and will close on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
Projects will be evaluated based on artistic and cultural impact, feasibility, community engagement, and overall contribution to Tiffin’s arts ecosystem. Community Placemaking Grant applications will also be reviewed for economic and audience impact.
Grant recipients will be notified in June, with funded work to be completed by November 30, 2026.
