The Medford Arts Council offers grants to individuals and organizations throughout the region seeking to engage the Medford public. Each year we fund public activities in the areas of the humanities, arts, and interpretive sciences, including concerts, exhibits, public art, festivals, performances, classes, and school field trips.

This year, we have introduced four new local priorities to help us attract proposals in particular areas. We will continue to fund proposals in a wide range of disciplines but are especially interested in your ideas for:

· Public art

· Projects to enhance the public experience in our neighborhood squares

· Partnerships and collaborations of many kinds—cross-sector, multidisciplinary, public-privates, etc.

· The humanities and interpretive sciences.
