Funding Priorities
Due to our deep commitment to the quality of life in Greenfield our funding priorities are to support Greenfield based artists, performers and venues.
We are especially interested in projects that include an outdoor public art component, projects that serve as economic drivers and add-on events, projects and surprises that make already planned events even more special.
