Local Councils are authorized to develop additional criteria and may give different weight to their criteria in order to reflect local concerns and community cultural needs.

DACC PRIORITIES:

SPECIAL STATEMENT FOR 2020-2021: In anticipation of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing impact on cultural events, we remind applicants that any proposed activity must adhere to all current Federal, State and Local guidelines regarding gatherings in indoor and outdoor spaces, social distancing and safety protocols. We encourage applicants to consider remote or virtual modes of programming in addition to, or as an alternative to, in-person activities.
In addition to the state guidelines and criteria (click here), DACC prioritizes applications in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences that focus on: community-wide gatherings, such as festivals, concerts, plays, films, lectures, workshops, and other performances; nature, science, farming, environmental, and interpretive sciences projects; arts education in the schools; arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences enrichment for all; restoration and preservation projects; projects that celebrate local history and promote cultural diversity; projects that attract underserved groups or a broad spectrum of the population or support diverse forms of cultural activities.
Project must benefit people in the town of Dennis – i.e., audiences, artists, students, residents, and visitors.
Preference is given to local/regional applicants and activities that demonstrate a clear cultural benefit to the Dennis community.
Applicants must state how the proposed project will benefit the Dennis community.
If the project is a regional event that includes additional towns or has been submitted to additional local cultural councils, applicants must describe specifically how the project will attract and benefit the Dennis participants.
Grant applications must be completed and submitted online.
Awards generally are not less than $150 or more than $1,000.
Awards may be for full or partial funding of a project.
For repeat applicants, preference is given to new and different projects because our goal is to support a wide range of innovative activities.
Repeat applicants should be aware that priority may be given to new applicants.
Project must be clearly defined and detailed. Applicants must secure a venue, date, and audience before submitting an application. Applicants also must describe how the proposed project will benefit Dennis and its residents.
All applications must submit a letter of support from the venue, including confirmed date(s), if event will be done remotely.
Field trips are considered for funding, but DACC does not fund transportation costs.
Priority is given to projects that are free to the public, discounted, or low cost/affordable.

We request that in accepting any grant monies, the recipient will acknowledge the Council with a statement on any advertising, press releases, flyers, programs, etc: "This event has received funding from the Dennis Arts and Culture Council".
