DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PROGRAMA EN EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ

Assets for Artists’ Capacity Building Grant Program pairs an unrestricted micro-grant with professional development tools for artists to design and build their creative future.

In this program, each artist determines what they need from a broad array of opportunities, which means that each artist’s path through the program will look a little different. There are no requirements, only opportunities. After being accepted into the program, grantees complete a brief onboarding call with one of A4A’s Program Managers to learn more about the resources available to them. This also gives our team a chance to learn more about you and your creative goals.

Our 2023 MA Statewide program was designed in collaboration with working artists from across the state.

Each grantee will have access to:

  • An unrestricted grant of $3,000 paid out at a time of your choosing.
  • Priority access to Assets for Artists online workshops for the year (some specifically designed with your cohort in mind).
  • At least one individual coaching session with an A4A trainer of your choice.
  • Support for setting goals and making an action-oriented plan to reach them.
  • Peer-networking opportunities with your cohort of fellow grantees.
