Mass Cultural Council Artist Fellowships: Crafts, Sculpture/Installation/New Genres, Dramatic Writing

The Fellowships are direct grants to artists creating exceptional original work. The Artist Fellowships are $15,000 and the Finalist awards are $1,000. We welcome applications from Massachusetts artists creating original work who meet eligibility requirements. Read full program guidelines, eligibility requirements, and application instructions.
Deadline: October 1, 2018

Local Cultural Council Grants Applicants may apply to the LCC Program for projects, operating support, ticket subsidy programs, artist residencies, fellowships or other activities, based on local priorities and needs. LCCs may also choose to fund cultural field trips for children, grades pre-K through 12, by subsidizing the cost for children to attend programs in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences (including performances, educational tours and exhibits). The LCC application process can be quite competitive. Because of the large number of requests and the limited funds available for regranting, many LCCs receive far more applications than they can fully or even partially fund. Average grants tend to be modest ($500-$750). Learn more.
Deadline: October 15, 2018
