Creative City to Host Info Sessions Across Boston
Creative City program manager Kim Szeto is excited to offer a series of information sessions. Creative City makes grants to Boston-area artists of all artistic disciplines who are taking their practice into the public realm and expanding public participation. These free events are designed to help artists prepare applications. Participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the program background and the grant guidelines in advance.
Registration is strongly encouraged; sessions may be cancelled if registration is low.
