Metro Arts Grants Celebration for FY26

Metro Arts asks that you save the date and RSVP for a special gathering honoring you and the other FY26 Metro Arts grants awardees. We are committed to recognizing and celebrating each cohort of grantees, and we plan on doing so for the FY26 round together with both Operating Support and Thrive grantees at the same time at Plaza Mariachi on Monday, June 15, 2026, from 5pm-8pm.

The celebration will be free to attend and open to the public, but we want to honor the grantees in a few special ways.

First, Metro Arts will be providing a complimentary nacho bar at the beginning of the celebration for Thrive grantees, Operating grantees, and fiscal sponsors. Food will be served at 5:30PM until the last nacho is consumed. Additional local businesses will also be open for food and beverage purchases throughout the evening.

Second, there will be plenty of chances during the night to connect with and learn from the other FY26 grantees via performances and other fun activities together.

There were 165 total grantees with Metro Arts during the FY26 cycle, and we want to continue to support the work you have created in as many ways as possible. We are excited to see everyone under one roof together again at the same time!
