The Florida Legislature established the Cultural Facilities Program in 1988 to provide assistance
to units of local government and non-profit organizations for the renovation, construction, and
acquisition of cultural facilities. Applications are submitted annually to the Florida Department of
State, Division of Cultural Affairs during the month of August to be considered for funding. The
maximum annual award is $500,000 with a cumulative maximum total of $2,000,000 for each
multi-phase project. The City has previously received Cultural Facilities Program grant awards for
the Colony Theater, Bass Museum and the Botanical Gardens.
The applications are reviewed for completeness by the Division of Cultural Affairs, and completed
applications are forwarded to the Florida Arts Council for review, scoring and recommendations.
The Florida Arts Council then prepares a priority list of projects which is sent to the Secretary of
State. The Secretary of State submits the list of recommended projects to the Legislature for
approval of each project.
