Applications are almost open for the 2025 Nexus Grant, which promises to award up to 100 $5,000 grants to support new and emerging artists. According to a press release from the city, “Eligible applicants must have a minimum one-year history of cultural or arts programming in Austin, and be headquartered in the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area.” More information about eligibility, how funds can be spent and applications can be found here. After some community feedback, the application process has been streamlined and will take place only once a year. Anyone needing help with their application can reach out via in-person or virtual information sessions, during virtual office hours from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesdays or check out the resources here. Applications open on Jan. 28 and are due by 7 p.m. March 6.
