The Coalition for Racial Equity in Atlanta Theatre is excited to announce that applications are open for the third cycle of the Sow & Grow Grants for African-American/Black, Indigenous, Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian contributors to the metro-Atlanta theatre community. This year CREAT will award ten $500 grants this December.
This total $5,000 award is made possible by the support of Kristen and Jordan Silton.

Sow & Grow Grants are seed investments in Atlanta’s theatre artists of color. Artists can use the funding to develop a project or for personal development. This includes, but is not limited to, workshop readings of a play or additional classes or training. In this industry and country, we often neglect that which is most necessary for creativity- rest and restorative self-care. CREAT encouraged applicants to consider using Sow & Grow Grants to fund this as well.
The second grant cycle is now open. Apply today!

Project Support
We received 98 applications for support this year. We’re proud that we were able to award $10,000 to nine Atlanta theatre makers through our lottery-based grant process. However, there are 91 worthy artists whose projects didn’t get funded. For artists that opted in, we’re posting their names, brief project descriptions, and email information. We encourage you to contact artists if you have funds or other ways to support their work!
