Chattanooga’s Performing Arts League awarded more than $40,000 last year in grants to support local performing arts organizations and individual student performers.

Awardees include the Chattanooga Ballet, which received a $3,000 grant from the league, and the Christian Family Theater, which received $2,000. Other grantees include the Chattanooga Boys Choir, East Lake Expression Engine, the Tivoli Theatre Foundation’s Camp Broadway and the Pop-up Project.

The league’s mission is to encourage training and development of young artists in disciplines including dance, theater, instrumental and vocal music.

Grant and scholarship applications for 2026 funding are now open at palchattanooga.org and close on Feb. 20.
