Deadline Approaches to Request AFCC Art Grants

Funding Available for Artists and Cultural Organizations
 
Applications are now available for the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod's Spring grants cycle, which has a deadline of Friday, March 19, 2010, 5 pm.
 
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.
 
Guidelines and application materials are available on the AFCC website at www.artsfoundation.org/grants-program or by calling 508-362-0066.
