Please review the Arts EZ Spring 2023 guidelines for criteria and eligibility requirements. Projects must start by July 1, 2023, and be complete by June 30, 2024.

What Happens if You Receive an ArtsEZ Grant in the Spring?

Northampton Arts Inc. has initiated a Direct Grant Program for our ArtsEZ grant round. Approved grantees will receive their award funding upfront.

How does the Arts Council decide which grant proposals get funded?
The members of the Arts Council review each grant. Each council member is assigned a grant category and carefully reads every proposal, following up with the artists for additional information if necessary. During the grant review meeting, each designated council member presents the grants in their category to the entire council. After hearing presentations on all the grant submissions, each council member scores each grant proposal. More information is here.
