City funding available for winter events in Seattle parks

Meghan Walker Ballard

The city is accepting applications for wintertime events in neighborhood parks.

Organized by Seattle Parks and Recreation, the funding comes from the Arts in Parks initiative. Individuals or groups can request up to $1,000 in funding for events that have a, “significant arts component and which engage underserved communities,” according to Seattle Parks.

Criteria for the events include the following:

  • Events should have a significant arts and culture component
  • Be free and open to the public
  • Provide a platform for or engage under-represented artists and communities
  • Adhere to Seattle Park’s mission statement: “Seattle Parks and Recreation provides welcoming and safe opportunities to play, learn, contemplate and build community, and promotes responsible stewardship of the land”
  • Take place outdoors in a City of Seattle park (Downtown parks, playfields, and green spaces adjacent to community centers are not eligible)

For a full list of details, including how to apply, read the Wintertime Community Events Application Guidelines. Applications are due by 5pm on Wednesday, Nov. 14. All events selected for funding must happen prior to Sunday, Dec. 23.

  1. Hi, thanks for your support! We’d love to put on a celebration of toxic masculinity in Ballard Commons. Why, they say straight white males will be a minority in another generation. Let’s show the rest of the country how forward-thinking and Progressive the City of Seattle is, and celebrate this minority underclass today! Seattle’s City Clowncil…tomorrow’s ideas today! And remember, Vote Salty, Vote O’Brine 2019!
