ArtsConnect Newsroom

ArtsConnect is excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2026 TopArts Grant Program! If you’re an artist or organization planning an amazing art-focused program in 2026, this grant funding could help.

TopArts Grants are awarded in two categories – arts access and public art. Individuals and organizations are eligible and you’ll find more information about how to apply by clicking here. Also, we will host two grant workshops in January as well as “office hours” to support applicants as they work on their proposals.

ArtsConnect is excited to unveil our new website to the public! We’ve worked really hard over several months to create an online presence that reflects our strategy, mission and vision as an organization. It is our hope that the new look will make it easier to find information that helps each visitor feel more connected and informed about the arts in Topeka.

ArtsConnect is currently working on building a new artist directory that will offer an opportunity to artists of ALL disciplines to have a way for your patrons to find you that is also connected to our event calendar, making connecting your audience with your art easier than ever. If you are interested in being added to the directory, please fill out the form on this page so that we can send more information when it becomes available!
