Funding Priorities
- Cultural organizations are encouraged to develop innovative and creative programs for the citizens of Fall River.
- Individual artists and humanists who reside or work in Fall River may undertake either a systematic activity leading to the enhancement of their skills or a specific project in their discipline. For these purposes, stipends up to $2,000.00 for local artists will be considered. Artists are required to submit specific dimensions of their artistic work, a complete list of supplies and costs of materials, and the location of your project to be approved by the FRCC. This project must be made available to the FRCC for viewing. Artists are also required to display their work in a public venue within the City of Fall River
- Collaborative efforts among cultural organizations and artists with broad community involvement are encouraged.
- Professional artists of high caliber may be brought to the city in order to broaden appreciation for the arts by the local population as guest artists or artists in residence.
- Cultural organizations may request funds for a capital expenditure to insure their continued vitality. Such special needs shall be of an emergency and non-recurring nature, and must have matching funds.
- Organizations are invited to submit recommendations that will enable the handicapped and disadvantaged to participate in cultural activities sponsored by other agencies.
- All performances by professional artists, humanists and cultural organizations must take place in the City of Fall River or reflect a collaborative partnership within the S.E. Massachusetts region, with a significant benefit to the citizens of Fall River.
