4Culture, King County’s cultural service agency, visits the Muckleshoot Library on Wednesday, Feb. 1 to talk about its project grants.

The informal workshop is from noon to 1 p.m. in the library, 39917 Auburn Enumclaw Road SE. No registration is necessary.

4Culture features its biggest grant program, funding work throughout King County by researchers, filmmakers, writers, sculptors, choreographers, designers, historians, musicians and others. The grant is divided among three disciplines: arts, heritage and preservation.

If you work in any of these disciplines and have thought about applying for a grant, this is an opportunity to talk to an experienced program manager to find out how it works.

4Culture is accepting applicants for Art Projects through March 1 and applications for Heritage and Preservation Special Projects through March 8.

Here’s a little more information on what the program supports:

Art Projects fund artists and small arts groups – from traditional to contemporary, emerging to established – who are working in creative disciplines and genres to enhance the cultural life of King County. Last year, dancer and choreographer Veronica Lee-Baik received funding for “Giselle Deconstruct”, her reinterpretation of classic ballet through the lens of the experiences of marginalized young women in Southeast Asia.

Heritage Projects supports work uncovering, illuminating and sharing the rich history throughout King County. Oral histories? Research? Online exhibitions? Heritage Projects can fund it all, and more. Community historian and Central District resident Jill Freidberg is putting her 2016 Heritage Projects grant to work documenting the stories of the Red Apple grocery store at 23rd and Jackson before it is torn down to make way for new development.

Preservation Special Projects funds neighborhood surveys, landmark nominations, building assessments, planning projects and advocacy efforts. They support projects utilizing new technologies and reaching audiences that are new to historic preservation. The Fall City Historical Society used its grant to hire a timber consultant to assess the condition of the iconic 1888 Fall City Hop Shed, the only remaining building of its type in King County.
