SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) – Awards totaling $1,265,166 will be made to 154 Oregon arts organizations as part of the Oregon Arts Commission’s Fiscal Year 2022 Operational Support Program.
Due to a growing number of eligible organizations, there are six more recipients than in fiscal year 2021.
Grant awards range from $2,000 to $25,000 and are available to nonprofit organizations with art at the heart of their mission and budgets in excess of $150,000.
“We often hear that operational support is the most important type of award,” said Jenny Green, Chair of the Arts Commission. “Especially now, as arts organizations are struggling to recover from the losses caused by the pandemic, these awards help ease some of the economic pressure.”
In 2019, organizations receiving operational support from the Arts Commission spent $213 million, employed 11,681 full-time equivalents, and ran events and activities attended by nearly 3.7 million people.
Organizations with budgets under $150,000 are eligible to apply to the Small Operating Program. This program funds an additional 109 arts organizations.

The Oregon Arts Commission provides leadership, funding, and arts programs through its grants, special initiatives, and services. Nine commissioners appointed by the governor determine art needs and set policies for public support of the arts. The Arts Commission became part of Business Oregon (formerly the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department) in 1993 in recognition of the growing role that the arts are playing in the broader social, economic, and educational arenas of Oregon communities. In 2003, the Oregon legislature transferred the activities of the Oregon Cultural Trust to the Arts Commission, streamlining operations and leveraging the commission’s expertise in grant allocation, arts and cultural information, and cultural community development.
The Arts Commission is supported by general funds from the Oregon Legislature, federal funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, and funds from the Oregon Cultural Trust. More information about the Oregon Arts Commission is available online at: www.oregonartscommission.org.
