The New Mexico Arts & Cultural Districts (ACD) Pilot Grant Program is a one-time collaborative initiative organized by New Mexico Arts, EDD’s Mainstreet program, and the Creative Industries Division to demonstrate the economic potential and cultural impact of directly funding state-authorized Arts & Cultural Districts.
The grant offers awards between $50,000 and $100,000 to provide catalytic resources for ACDs. The program aims to implement high-impact creative industry programming, drive local economic growth, and build the case for sustained investment through a dedicated fund outside of the Creative Industries Division.
