Artists are at the heart of our rich cultural life. Their work breaks down barriers and helps us appreciate what it means to be human. We believe that supporting artists and culture bearers is essential to our mission – they embody and advance the power of culture.

Through ArtSake, Mass Cultural Council’s online resource to support Massachusetts artists, we celebrate our state’s innovative and creative minds, highlight new projects, and feature ideas and content straight from the artists.

ArtSake contains a wide range of resources for working artists, including links to funding, services, technical assistance, and other forms of support. Visit ArtSake to find:

Curated lists of artist opportunities. Every week, we publish calls to artists, publications, artist residencies, contests, and more.
Periodic discussions about issues artists face in their work and lives.
Funding opportunities for artists and culture-bearers.
The free and easy-to-use Creative Space Classifieds, where you can find or list creative work spaces or live/work spaces.
Articles on topics like writing an artist’s statement and the basics of applying for grants.
