VERMONT ARTS ENDOWMENT FUND
Applicants may apply to these funds through the new on-line application form (if you are applying to both funds, separate applications are required for each fund). The deadline for this grant round is 5/15/10. Please read the guidelines below carefully before applying as there have been changes from the previous year.
Please note that are separate applications for individuals and organizations (see below).
The Vermont Arts Endowment Fund
Grant size: up to $5,000.
These grants are intended to support artists and the arts community in the creation of art and to provide an opportunity for them share their work broadly. In doing so, our intent is to promote art for art’s sake rather than art for social or other purposes.
Applications to the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund will be evaluated using the following criteria:
* How closely it matches the purpose of the Fund as noted above.
* Quality of the artist's work (as demonstrated in work samples).
* Plans for public presentation so that the work will be seen, read, or
heard by a broad range of Vermont audiences.
* Ability of the organization or artists to carry out the project for which
funds are requested.
* Reasonable and appropriate budget.
The Concert Artists Fund
Grant size: up to $10,000.
These grants support arts organizations that perform classical music in Chittenden County. Funds are limited to support of public performances (not music education or other programs).
Applications to the Concert Artists Fund will be evaluated using the following criteria:
* Compatibility with the fund's intentions as noted above.
* How well the project reflects plans to ensure that a broad spectrum of
audiences see the performances, including underserved populations.
* Performances must be open to the public at large (i.e. private
performances will not be considered).
* Grant will support unique opportunities for the organization to enhance
its capacity and programming, including (but not limited to) additional
collaborations or unique partnerships
* Ability of the organization to carry out the project
* Reasonable and appropriate budget and timeline
Individual artists must apply here for either fund.
Organizations must apply here for either fund.
