Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PA Partners) is a regranting program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) and administered in Allegheny County by the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council. Its goal is to make arts programs available to every Commonwealth resident, with a focus on previously underserved communities and regions in Pennsylvania. PA Partners provides grants of up to $3,000 for arts projects that take place in Allegheny County. All projects must be publicized and open to the general public, and must take place between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010. The application postmark deadline is June 19, 2009.

The PCA's goals for PA Partners are to:

• Expand access to the arts by (a) making programs available to communities that may have been underserved in the past by state arts funding, and (b) supporting a wide variety of arts activities in the community that have been developed in a variety of local settings
  
• Encourage local decision-making in regranting of state arts dollars
  
• Increase awareness of and advocacy for government support and funding of the arts at the local and state levels
  
• Enable the PCA to provide increased assistance to its broad constituency throughout the state
