The City of Columbia’s Columbia Streams Art program will provide micro-grants to 20 local artists with awards ranging from $500 to $1,500. The final product of the art project submitted must fall into one of these three categories:
- Amplifying the rich history and story of Columbia, South Carolina.
- Improve and expand public knowledge of our rivers, the Saluda, the Broad, and the Congaree, and encourage public recreation activity at river access sites.
- Furthering sustainability with a focus on topics like climate change, heat reduction, beautification, and conservation.
The micro-grants are open to artists who live in or work in the Columbia, SC area, with an emphasis on artists or an art team who have publically exhibited in the City of Columbia or larger South Carolina area.
