The Northampton Arts Council, Inc. is once again running a special, locally supported arts grant round. This spring the Arts Council will be awarding up to $15,000. This money was raised at last summer's Transperformance 18: Letters and Numbers and the recent Four Sundays in February ’09 series. These grants are available to area writers, painters, photographers, sculptors, musicians, videographers, schools, and all other creatives and arts organizations for projects held in Northampton.

Guidelines and applications are available via our website: www.northamptonartscouncil.org and can be downloaded as PDFs.

Completed applications with support materials must be received by 4:30 pm, Monday, May 11, 2009.

The Northampton Arts Council will hold an informational meeting regarding the grant process at APE/Window, 126 Main Street, Northampton on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 from 6pm-8pm.
