The FRCC is particularly interested in projects that will enhance visibility of art and culture in the Fall River Community.
- Large scale projects may exceed the limit for local artists. Artists are required to submit specific dimensions of their artistic work, a complete list of supplies and costs of materials, and the location of their project to be approved by the Fall River Cultural Council. This project must be made available to the FRCC for viewing.
- Artists are also required to display their work in a public venue within the City of Fall River.
Professional artists of high caliber may be brought to the city as guest artists or artists in residence in order to broaden appreciation for the arts by the local population. - Collaborative efforts among cultural organizations and artists with broad community involvement are encouraged.
- Cultural organizations may request funds for a capital expenditure to insure their continued vitality. Such special needs shall be of a non-recurring nature, and must have matching funds
- All applicants who are proposing programs in the Fall River School System (except Cultural Field Trips) must first receive written approval from the Director of Fine Arts of the Fall River School Department. If the Council does not receive written approval by the application deadline, the application will not be reviewed
- The venue and dates for the project must be clearly stated. A written confirmation from the collaborating artist/s and/or organization/s must be attached. Exceptions will be made due to extenuating circumstances, e.g. Covid.
