Fulton County Arts & Culture (FCAC) is pleased to announce an extended application deadline for the 2026 Contracts for Services (CFS) program. Made possible through annual funding from the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, the CFS program reflects the County’s longstanding investment in the creative sector and its commitment to expanding access to the arts for all residents.

Funding awards ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 are available for Fulton County–based artists, nonprofit arts organizations, nonprofit cultural institutions, colleges and universities, schools, municipalities, and community-based nonprofit organizations. Funds are provided as essential project or general operating support. Supported projects should reflect the diversity of Fulton County, fuel creativity, and expand access to arts experiences across the county.

“With the continued support of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, the Arts Council, and our dedicated CFS staff, we are able to strengthen our creative community and expand access to meaningful arts experiences,” said Arts & Culture Director David Manuel. “This program equips artists and nonprofit organizations with the tools they need to succeed while celebrating the cultural richness that defines Fulton County.”

The CFS program provides both general operating and project support to eligible nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations, including arts and culture organizations, cultural institutions, colleges and universities, and local government entities offering ongoing public arts programming. Funded projects highlight Fulton County’s cultural vibrancy, inspire residents, strengthen neighborhoods, and contribute to local economic growth.

The application deadline for the 2026 CFS cycle has been extended to 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. FCAC strongly encourages applicants who were unable to meet the original deadline to take advantage of this extension and submit an application.
