The City of Corpus Christi’s Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund is the funding source for the Arts Grant Program. The second call was made possible by the Arts & Cultural Commission decision to release unused funds, and to give organizations affected by Hurricane Harvey a second chance to apply. The projects and organizations selected by the Arts & Cultural Commission members to receive grants offer high-quality programming to the creative ecosystem of South Texas and promote tourism for the city and the convention and hotel industry.
