The Vermont Arts Council is now accepting applications for its Creative Aging Grants, which support skill-based instruction alongside opportunities for social engagement and community building in and through the arts for older adults. Applicants to the Creative Aging grant program are non-profits with 501(c)(3) status, such as arts organizations, area agencies on aging, or social service organizations for example.
Organizations may apply for up to $6,000 to support activities designed for older adults aged 60+ led by experienced teaching artists.
Example projects may include:
- hiring a teaching artist to lead a series of photography workshops with a local senior center
- hiring a teaching artist to lead remote workshops for older adults in their homes, supplying materials, providing opportunities for social engagement, and giving support to caregivers
- hiring teaching artists or mentors to work with older adults to capture and/or create a series of stories or poems at a local library, arts organization, or community center
Need help with your application? Tune into our online Grantseeker Workshop from 1-2 p.m., Sept. 10. A recording will be posted to the website after for those who are unable to attend.
