Free Fall Baltimore Grant

Free Fall Baltimore Grant

The Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts (BOPA) is proud to present the 2024 Free Fall Baltimore grant opportunity – a citywide celebration that offers hundreds of free arts & cultural events at participating venues throughout Baltimore City. Held in conjunction with National Arts and Humanities Month, local venues, artists, and organizations showcase the importance of the arts with free concerts, dance and theater performances, festivals, lectures, workshops, art exhibitions, and special events. This program is made possible by the generous funding support of The Maryland State Arts Council.  

Prospective Applicants:  

Each year, BOPA provides grants to Baltimore City-based organizations and local venues/event spaces, with operating budgets under $300,000 to produce free cultural events in Baltimore City during October.  

Individual artists/creatives can apply for this grant if their event is also free and open to the public and located in a public space or Baltimore City-based venue.  

We also provide an opportunity for organizations with operating budgets over $300,000 to participate in Free Fall Baltimore by promoting their events and incorporating them into the Free Fall calendar.
