The Utah Division of Arts & Museums is pleased to launch the General Operating Support (GOS) Grants to invest in cultural organizations based in and serving the residents of Utah.
General Operating Support Grants fund museums, arts organizations, and local arts agencies; applications are tailored for the size of the organization’s budget.
Funds may be used to supplement general operating revenue. These grants are competitive and panel-reviewed.
