The Massachusetts Cultural Council’s program manager Lisa Simmons and the Northampton Arts Council (NAC) will hold a Grant Writing Workshop to support potential applicants considering submission of proposals for community-oriented arts and humanities programs due October 15th. Anyone interested in learning more about the proposal process and application is invited to attend, including residents supported by other Local Cultural Councils (LCC). The workshop will include information about the application used by all LCCs, presented by the Mass Cultural Council. This MCC presentation will be followed by an opportunity to learn about the Northampton Arts Council’s funding priorities and guidelines as well as developing a budget for your application. Information will also be presented about the MCC Direct Grant program which has been adopted by the NAC. New this year, grant award-winners will receive their funding upfront and not on a reimbursement basis.
To help applicants prepare an effective funding proposal, the Council will hold a grant writing workshop on Wednesday September 11th, 6:00PM at the Northampton Community Arts Trust Building’s Flex Space, 33 Hawley Street, Northampton, MA 01060. The session is open to artists, schools, non-profit cultural organizations, and residents interested in applying for funding through the Local Cultural Council Program.
