In reviewing proposals for funding this year, Swampscott Cultural Council seeks proposals that promote diverse culture while placing an emphasis on:
· local artists and programs
· new, diverse programming
· programs that will benefit the greatest number of residents
· collaborative programs between artists and local institutions
· programs and events that have acquired additional sources of funding
· programs that are free to the public
· meticulous planning
We will draw from the results of the Swampscott Cultural Council's Summer 2017 community input survey, which identified several funding priorities:
1. Community events and public performances
2. Arts/cultural programming for the schools
3. Nature, science, environmental education projects
4. Public arts projects
5. Supporting cultural diversity
Please note:
Programs funded by the SCC for two years or more will have a lower priority in subsequent years.
Programs or events that take place in schools will be viewed more favorably if additional or follow-up learning will be integrated into the classroom.
Due to limited resources and the interest in providing diverse programming, we are more likely to fund grants between $200 and $750.
