The Vermont Arts Council is accepting applications for three grant programs: Cultural Facilities, Creation, and Project Grants. Artists, cultural/community organizations, and municipalities throughout Vermont are encouraged to apply.
Cultural Facilities Grants help Vermont nonprofit organizations and municipalities enhance, create, or expand the capacity of an existing building to provide cultural activities for the public. The deadline for Cultural Facilities Grant applications is May 1.
Creation Grants help Vermont artists purchase materials, rent equipment or space, and compensate for time in order to create new work. The deadline for Creation Grant applications is May 8.
Project Grants support Vermont-registered nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations, municipalities, and schools in their efforts to bring the arts to the center of Vermont communities. The deadline for Project Grant applications is May 15.
Arts Council staff is available to answer questions and offer assistance to individuals and organizations interested in applying. Applications may call 802-828-3291 to speak with a program manager. Additional information is also available at http://www.vermontartscouncil.org/grants-and-services.
Since 1964, the Vermont Arts Council has been the state's primary provider of funding, advocacy, and information for the arts in Vermont. Through its programs and services, the Council strives to increase public awareness of the positive role artists and arts organizations play in communities and to maximize opportunities for Vermonters to experience the arts in everyday life.
