Roswell's Cultural Arts Board has launched a program to support local nonprofit arts and cultural organizations, both established and emerging, through its "Contracts for Cultural Services" program. The program allows funding of from $1,000-$5,0000 to projects and services that are judged to enrich the entire community and particularly those which deliver arts and cultural services.

A peer review advisory panel and the CAB will make its recommendation to the mayor and City Council for final approval of the service contracts. Applications are due Aug. 17. A representative from any participating organization must send a representative to one of two CFCS workshops July 16, from 4:30-5 p.m. or from 6-7:30 p.m. at Roswell City Hall.
