CEA Grant Information Session

From April 1 - May 30, Erie Arts and Culture is accepting applications to its final cycle of the Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program (CEAP) in partnership with the Pennsylvania Creative Industries. Future cycles will be administered by the PA Creative Industries and include a cohort model.

The CEA program is designed for creative entrepreneurs who aspire to start their own for-profit business or who operate an existing for-profit micro business. All applicants receive small business consultation services, and awarded applications receive a $2,000 grant to support the growth of their businesses, audiences, and revenues. This program is open to all creative entrepreneurs in Northwest PA.

Grant funds must be used between August 2026 and December 31, 2026.

Contact one of the referral partners on our website today to schedule your required consultation to apply. Referral partners provide strategic advice, resource connections, and assist with business planning.

Info session scheduled for Friday, March 13th from 12-1pm. The session will be shared on Zoom and Facebook Live, and will be recorded.
