San Diego leaders announced Wednesday the opening of the application period for the city’s 2026-27 arts and culture funding opportunities intended to support local nonprofit organizations and projects.

Applications are due by 8 a.m. Nov. 13.

The annual arts and culture program is funded by the Transient Occupancy Tax paid by visitors staying in hotels, motels and other accommodations in the city.

“The city’s funding strengthens a dynamic and diverse arts and culture ecosystem,” Christina Bibler, city economic development director, said in a statement. “Through investments in our local organizations and the artists and cultural workforce they employ and engage, we expand San Diego’s economy and strengthen the cultural and creative sectors that benefit our residents and visitors.”
