FREE FALL BALTIMORE
Create Baltimore is proud to present the 2026 Free Fall Baltimore grant opportunity. Free Fall Baltimore is a citywide celebration held in conjunction with National Arts and Humanities Month each October. This year, Create Baltimore will provide $1,500 grants to individual artists and small arts organizations throughout Baltimore City to produce a variety of arts & cultural events that are free and open to the public.
Free Fall showcases the importance of accessible arts programming with free concerts, dance and theater performances, festivals, lectures, workshops, art exhibitions, special events, and more. This annual program is made possible by the generous funding support of the Maryland State Arts Council. Individual artists/creatives can apply for this grant if their event is free, open to the public, and located in a venue or public space in Baltimore City. Baltimore area nonprofit arts and cultural organizations with annual operating budgets under $500,000 are also eligible to apply for grant funds to produce a Free Fall event.
Arts and cultural organizations and anchor institutions with operating budgets over $500,000 are not eligible to apply for grant funding, however, Create Baltimore provides an opportunity for these entities to participate in Free Fall Baltimore by promoting their events and incorporating them into the Free Fall calendar.
Applications close: July 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
