Championing Cape Cod’s Creative Community — Funding Artists, Fueling Access, and Driving Cultural Impact Across the Region

Keep Cape Cod Creative

The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod is the region’s central investment point for arts and culture. Since 1987, we’ve worked to support and strengthen the Cape’s creative sector — from individual artists to historic theaters, from first-time creators to future arts leaders.

On this 65-mile stretch known for its rich artistic legacy, we ensure creativity continues to thrive through grant funding, artist development, community access, and year-round initiatives like the Creative Exchange, Patron Events, and Artist MeetUps.

We believe that when we prioritize the arts, we elevate everything — education, well-being, connection, and the Cape’s vibrant identity itself.

impact across the region

Our mission is to support and strengthen a vibrant and diverse arts and cultural sector for everyone in the region.
