We ♥ North Adams.
North Adams, home of MASS MoCA, is also home to a growing artist community, and we want to keep that momentum going strong.
This fall, we have opportunities for artists/makers currently based in North Adams and those interested in relocating to North Adams.
Check out the details below, and apply by October 9!
Matched Savings Grant Program:
Artists who live in North Adams, or maintain a studio in North Adams, or have decided to move to North Adams, will be considered for the following assistance:
A “matched savings” grant that provides working capital to help the artist grow their creative practice in North Adams. Participants are provided with grants of $1,000 to $4,000 to match a corresponding amount of savings, and the combined amount is used by the artist toward implementing their business plan.
An additional $500 re-location grant for artists moving to North Adams.
Free professional development services, including workshops on financial management and business planning.
Free one-on-one coaching in the development of the artist’s business plan.
ARTISTS IN ALL DISCIPLINES AND FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY!
Artists with a home or studio in North Adams are welcome to apply. If you’re an artist/maker motivated to improve your professional practices and to make investments aimed at strengthening your artistic career, we’d love to hear from you.
We have opportunities for you, too. If you're planning a home or studio move to North Adams within the next 9 months, you may be eligible for our matched savings program at the $4,000 match level. Plus our workshops, counseling, peer networking support, and $500 in re-location assistance will help you get a foothold in the community.
Applying is simple! Just go to our online application and answer the question about why you're interested in joining North Adams' creative scene.
