The Pittsfield Cultural Council gathers input from the community yearly and develops funding priorities based on this feedback. This year, the Pittsfield Cultural Council will give priority to:
- Projects planned by Pittsfield artists or organizations
- Projects with a direct benefit to Pittsfield residents
- Projects that are accessible for free or at minimal cost to community members
- Projects that promote community engagement and cohesion
- Projects that reach diverse audiences, especially audiences that do not usually benefit from cultural/arts offerings
- Emerging or independent projects, with the goal of promoting new growth in the arts in Pittsfield
- Projects for which a thorough and complete budget has been presented
In addition to the LCC Program Guidelines, please note the following:
A resume or other documentation detailing the applicant’s qualifications must be included with the application.
The project location (i.e., performance venue/gallery space) and date must be secured in advance of application and a letter of confirmation from the site or sponsor must be included with the application.
The maximum grant amount is $2,000.
Applicants will not be funded for more than three consecutive years.
Only one application will be considered from any individual or organization during each grant cycle.
The PCC does not fund fund-raising projects.
The PCC logo MUST be used in all advertising materials for any project the PCC has funded. Those who fail to do so may be ineligible to receive subsequent funding. The PCC logo is available in several formats here.
