The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod (AFCC), the designated local arts agency for Barnstable County, is pleased to announce its next grant cycle.  Applications are now available for the AFCC Spring grants cycle, which has a deadline of Friday, March 19, 2010.
 
The AFCC will hold a grants information workshop for interested applicants on Thursday, February 25 at 5:30 pm at the AFCC offices in Centerville.  First time applicants are strongly urged to attend this workshop. Reservations are required. Please reserve your space by February 24 by calling 508-362-0066 or emailing info@artsfoundation.org.
 
The AFCC Grants Program provides cash awards to local artists and cultural organizations that are engaged in projects that help create a strong, stable, and diverse arts and culture industry on Cape Cod, and contribute positively to the quality of life and economic vitality of the region. Preference is given to specific program initiatives, particularly those enhancing the arts education of learners of all ages, and to collaborative efforts within the arts community.
 
The AFCC distributed more than $49,000 in grants to 41 individual artists and cultural organizations in the past 12 months.  Grant funds are made possible by the proceeds of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod’s annual TD Bank Pops by the Sea concert.
