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:
- For the 2017 grant cycle, the PCC will continue to accept paper applications. If you would like a paper application to fill out, you will have to request one. Contact us at pittsfieldculture@yahoo.com to make your request.
- 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.
