Our Grants and Programs Director, Gabriela Muñoz, was featured in this article by Arizona Sonoran News, highlighting the Arts Foundation’s commitment to making grant applications more accessible and supporting local artists in securing funding.

With $3.2 million distributed to artists and arts organizations in the last four years, we’re proud to contribute to Tucson’s arts community.

The application process is fairly straightforward, said Gabriela Muñoz, director of grants and programs at the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona. She said the Arts Foundation tries to make the expectations of applicants as transparent as possible online, laying out the instructions as well as the criteria applicants will be assessed on.

“We invest a lot of hours in connecting with artists, answering questions, supporting them, because we are invested in funding them through the Arts Foundation, “she said. “But above and beyond that, we’re really interested in augmenting their capacity to receive funding, not just from us, but from other funders.”
