Dear Friends:
We remember with respect, appreciation and admiration, Senator Edward M. Kennedy. He was one of the cultural community's most passionate supporters for decades and an original sponsor of the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities. Throughout his remarkable career, he sponsored legislation that protected artists and fostered an ongoing national discussion on policies affecting the arts and humanities.
Among his many contributions to our Nation, Commonwealth and County, Senator Kennedy was an active and involved supporter of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod since our inception. I'd like to share with you a few of our favorite photographs of Senator Kennedy bringing his magic to the Cape's cultural community. His work on behalf of artists and arts organizations will be felt for generations.
We extend our deepest sympathy to his family.
Sincerely,
Margaret Van Sciver
President
Arts Foundation of Cape Cod

Prepare Now for the Next AFCC Grant Application Deadline of October 9
 The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod's Grants Program provides cash awards to cultural organizations and local artists 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 proposals that would enhance the arts education of learners of all ages on Cape Cod, and to collaborative efforts within the arts community. The AFCC does not award grants for general operating expenses. The Board of Directors will consider a limited number of awards up to $5,000, but because the AFCC is interested in supporting as many worthwhile endeavors as possible, grant size is generally limited to within a range of $500 to $2,500.
Arts Foundation of Cape Cod grants are awarded twice a year. The next deadline for applications is October 9 at 5:00 pm.
