Art makers are taking to the streets, storefronts, and parking garages of Dallas to bring art that matters to the people. TACA Pop-Up Grants reward and amplify the city’s most exciting, boundary-smashing artistic work; work that fuels a culture of creativity and innovation, and pushes us to rethink everything we know about art.

Pop-Up Grants center around artistic program/projects produced or presented by local 501c3 nonprofit arts organizations or fiscally-sponsored arts projects in Dallas County. Programs can be presented live, virtually, or through other mediums.

To be eligible for nomination, funded artistic programs/projects must demonstrate a high level of performance across all three of our funding criteria, which are defined in order of importance below:

Creativity & Innovation
– Artistic programming is unexpected, experiments with new/different presentation formats, or takes artistic risk

Artistic Merit
– Quality of artists engaged and artistic programming produced is exceptional

Accessibility & Inclusion
– Barriers to participation are low (e.g., low ticket prices, near public transit, etc.)
– Programming is relevant and/or reflective of marginalized voices, current events, or timely topics
 
Programs awarded can be one-time events/projects, individual productions, or limited-time offerings that exemplify these three criteria.
