TopArts Grant Media + Promotional Resources
Funding to increase access to the arts for Topekans of all ages and abilities.
Media/Publicity Kit for Grantees
The TopArts Grant program has been in existence since 2016 and is made possible with funds allocated by the City of Topeka. ArtsConnect is proud to have been chosen by the City of Topeka to administer the allocation of these funds.
To make things as easy as possible for current and past grantees, we have provided resources to help you acknowledge the support offered through the TopArts Grant Program and to offer tools to promote your programs and projects. Please review the information below and we hope it is helpful to you. We understand that all projects are different and have attempted to offer materials that are flexible and usable. A variety of logos are found in this Google Drive folder by clicking this link or the button below. Any of the materials in that folder can be used in accordance with the guidelines provided below. We are in the process of updating a “boilerplate” press release and other materials for promoting your programs and projects. It will be added to the folder here as soon as it is available. If you ever need assistance with marketing or promoting your grant-related events and activities, please let us know.
