SCAC offers small grants to local artists and organizations that request funds to assist with the costs of an arts related activity.
The application to the Community Arts Fund consists of a letter outlining the request, a clear budget and a sample of work. The goals must meet our mandate to support local artists and local arts initiatives by groups and individuals in or closely associated with Shelburne County. SCAC allocates a maximum of $3000 to this program each year, but the amount may vary. Therefore, each grant is likely to be a small portion of that total, for example $200 or $500.
In the past, SCAC has supported projects like Harmony Bazaar Festival of Women and Song (pictured here), a mentorship at a sound recording studio by Alex Buchanan, attendance at an international theatre school by Patrick Keeler and the purchase of arts supplies by local painters.
SCAC is ready to receive and consider your letter, budget and samples expressing your need and the importance of your project. Please remember: There is no deadline. Complete and submit this application form.
