Description
The Arts Fund for Region One aims to expand access to arts education and experiences for students in Region One and the six towns of Northwest Connecticut. Established in 1992, the fund offers two primary funding streams: project grants for groups and individual scholarships (Susan Fillman Memorial) for K–12 students. The fund supports programs that enhance artistic development, foster community connections, and bring high-quality arts opportunities to areas with limited access.
