The Northampton Arts
Council Announces
ArtsEZ 2015 Grant Award Winners
The Northampton Arts
Council is pleased to announce the awarding of 23 grants totaling $15,000 in
support of a variety of projects from funds raised
through event-programming such as the end of summer music festival Transperformance
and the winter event series Four Sundays in February. The caliber of
applications this round was outstanding, and we were unable to fund many worthy
projects. The Arts Council received 52 requests for almost $73,000 of funding. Grants
were awarded in the following categories: Dance, Film/Video, Literature, Mixed
Media, Music, Theater and Visual Arts. For more information about our grants
