CARES Music and Performance Art Grants
In an continued effort to spread joy across Rochester and put some local performers back to work, RNeighbors is partnering with the City of Rochester to award music grants, giving local musicians and performance artists work opportunities to showcase their talents in public spaces where people can safely enjoy. Neighborhoods and not-for-profit organizations can work with musicians and performers to schedule a socially-distanced performance. This opportunity was funded through Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, originating from the federal government and allocated to the City of Rochester by the State of Minnesota. More about these funds here.
These grants reimburse up to $500 in costs to support a neighborhood-based or virtual performance. All Rochester-based musicians, performers, neighborhoods, and nonprofits are eligible to apply. You do not need to be a part of a registered neighborhood association.
This is your chance to celebrate fall by featuring a Rochester band in your driveway and invite the neighbors for a socially-distanced performance or hire a local DJ for a neighborhood dance party, with everyone dancing in their own lawn’s. Be creative.
Performances must be completed by November 1, including a short grant summary with an invoices and/or expense receipts for reimbursement. #rochcaretunes
