Welcome to the ArtsFairfax (formerly known Arts Council of Fairfax County) online application system!
ArtsFairfax is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in 1964 as Fairfax County’s designated local arts agency.
ArtsFairfax is the voice of the arts, dedicated to fostering dynamic and diverse local arts, ensuring that arts thrive by providing vision, leadership, capacity building services, advocacy, funding, education, and information.
This online system is being used for a variety of ArtsFairfax programs including grants, arts awards, public art, Capital One Hall space use, creative aging, and the artist residency program.
Before Beginning an Application:
1. Review the guidelines (available on the ArtsFairfax website and below with each category) including eligibility requirements.

3. It's recommended that applicants prepare narrative responses in a word processing program prior to completing the online application.
Applications close at midnight on the due date.
Grant Applicants:
1. Additional resources including grant preparation workshop presentations, model applications, and a budget webinar presentation located on the ArtsFairfax website.
