Gwinnett County is a cultural, inclusive destination where the arts educate, elevate, and inspire.

The Gwinnett Creativity Fund‘s (GCF) mission is to assist non-profit arts and cultural organizations to grow and evolve, provide programming and arts education opportunities, engage culturally underserved communities, while enhancing Gwinnett’s economic and cultural landscape. Launched in 2020 and expanded in 2025, the GCF now offers two grant cycles each year: a Project Grant, offering organizations opportunities to create or expand programs across theatre, performing arts, cultural events, film/TV workforce development, film festivals, arts education and more.

In 2025, GCF added a Placemaking Grant, expanding the applicant pool and supporting placemaking projects, where public arts, accessibility and connectivity intersect. Placemaking integrates, culture and design to celebrate local history and tradition, while fostering community connections and transforming everyday areas into vibrant, inviting spaces.

Visit our Grant Resources page, where we provide other grant opportunities that both non-profit organizations as well as individual arts can find new grant opportunities.

The Gwinnett Creativity Fund is managed and administered by Explore Gwinnett, and is funded with support from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners.
