Grant applications available through VT Arts Council
The Vermont Arts Council is now is accepting applications for two grant programs, Arts Projects and Arts Operating. Organizations may either apply for the Arts Project or Arts Operating grant, but not both.
Arts Project Grants support VT 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, municipalities, and educational institution’s efforts to add vibrancy to Vermont communities by providing equal and abundant access to the arts. Examples of fundable projects include, but are not limited to, audience-based arts experiences that focus on new or under-resourced audiences and/or artists such as performances, exhibits, screenings, readings, fairs, public art projects, and festivals; creative placemaking through public art projects that engage artist(s) and community members to help re-envision public spaces, strengthen community identity, meet community goals or projects that support revitalization efforts to help a community reflect on or recover from a recent disaster; and participatory creative experiences that support arts-focused activities with groups of specific ages, income, genders, races, abilities, geographic regions, and/or activities that encourage interaction between or among these groups.
