Description
The Community Arts Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation of the North State awards grants primarily for creating and presenting new public artwork in Shasta and Siskiyou counties. Supported disciplines include dance, theater, music, writing, sculpture, painting, photography, film, and graphic design, but support is not limited to these fields. Projects must explain where the completed work will be displayed or shared and how it will be publicly available.
Originally launched as the Articipate Campaign in 2010, the initiative is now a Field of Interest fund. It pools donations from many contributors and uses an endowment to sustain regional arts support into the future.
