FY25 Local Priorities
The Somerville Arts Council supports individuals, organizations, and schools through both project, individual fellowships, and fieldtrip grants. These applications are categorized and reviewed through a genre based structure. We also provide a Cultural Heritage category in support of our diverse city.
FY25 Local Guidelines
All applicants must review and follow our application process which correlates with the MCC/LCC final application process. This is especially important when submitting support materials to further review your proposal. Please go to https://somervilleartscouncil.org/lccgrants to review and submit via guidelines. Also we provide LCC workshops for applicants. Please review the guidelines and try to attend one of our three sessions in September.
