The city will reserve $300,000 for arts and cultural nonprofts. Groups with canceled events or who have taken a hit from the pandemic will be allowed to apply next Tuesday.

"We're trying to get this money out fast,” Sanchez said.

Another $100,000 will go toward DIY media projects. The city plans to buy content from musicians, performers and individual artists.

$50,000 will be used to help people who teach art classes to children or adults and another $50,000 will go to kids who are aspiring to be artists.

“So, if you really think about that in terms of the number of jobs, the number of people that are working in these spaces, it is a huge piece of the people that are working and earning money,” Sanchez said.
