Cambridge Arts and the Community Art Center are seeking an artist-in-residence who will lead youth through the process of designing a permanent public art project for The Port neighborhood of Cambridge, MA.
As part of Cambridge Arts' continuing efforts to keep our audiences healthy during covid, we will not be presenting the River Festival in 2022. Instead, Cambridge Arts is producing the Ripple Festival, a series of smaller in-person performances and arts markets rippling out into Cambridge neighborhoods in the spirit of the River Festival.
Eleven Cambridge organizations have been awarded $99,000 in Organizational Investment Grants by Cambridge Arts and the City of Cambridge. The funding program provides $9,000 grants to support operational costs, sustainability, and resiliency for local cultural organizations that benefit Cambridge residents.
This grassroots grants program supports Cambridge projects including dance, films, music, public art, and theater, that represent the wealth of artistic activity across the city. Overall, Cambridge Arts and the City are distributing grants totaling $299,350 to artists and community organizations this year through three funding opportunities, including the Local Cultural Council Grants, Art for Social Justice Grants, and Organizational Investment Grants.
The new funding program—grants are $7,500 each—supports projects that present the themes and ongoing work of social justice to the Cambridge public through the arts.
