Denver Arts & Venues Opens Applications for P.S. You Are Here Program

 

DENVER – Denver Arts & Venues has launched a new round of funding for P.S. You Are Here, a creative placemaking program which aims to transform Denver’s outdoor public spaces. A total $100k in funding for grants up to $10k each are available for these projects. Proposals are being accepted now through Nov. 10, 2025.

 

First launched in 2014, P.S. You Are Here (PSYAH) supports short-term, collaborative and community-led projects. PSYAH projects build civic engagement, honor heritage, beautify neighborhoods and enrich communities to bring vibrancy to Denver’s neighborhoods and downtown. In 2024-2025, PSYAH funded projects included Control Group Production’s Dry Gulch Sound Journey, the transformation of the basketball court at Fuller Park in the Whittier neighborhood, “Beat Box,” a collaborative project from Rocky Mountain Public Media and KUVO Jazz, and much more.

 

“P.S. You Are Here has always been a catalyst for residents to make meaningful contributions to the public spaces in their communities through creativity, connection, and collective pride,” said Michael Chavez, curator of Public Art partnerships at Denver Arts & Venues. “I can’t wait to see what innovative applications we receive this year.”

 

P.S. You Are Here applicants can be neighborhood-based groups, Registered Neighborhood Organizations, Business Improvement Districts, art or creative districts, place-based organizations, individuals residing or working in the neighborhood in which the project will take place, or individuals working with one or more of the aforementioned.

 

Interested applicants are encouraged to attend a pre-application meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 12-1 p.m. Registration and additional information can be found here.

 

Funded projects must take place in 2025-2026 calendar years. Application guidelines, criteria, a project toolkit and more information can be found at www.ArtsandVenues.com/PSYAH.
