Description
This grant program funds small-scale, resident- and artist-led projects that activate Worcester neighborhoods through arts, culture, and creative expression. Designed to address clearly identified community needs and strengthen neighborhood connection, belonging, and identity, the grant encourages creative initiatives that are temporary, experimental, or pilot in nature. Projects must be deeply rooted in the local context, accessible, and community-driven, prioritizing those that engage neighbors through innovative use of the arts and celebrate Worcester’s unique cultural fabric.
