How do I apply for CCF support?
To apply for a grant, submit an application to any or all of the following programs:
How do I know if I’m eligible for CCF?
The following guidelines should help you determine whether you are eligible for CCF:
Do I have to present work at Flashpoint or Source in order to receive CCF support?
Yes, only artists who are presenting work at either Flashpoint or Source will be considered for funding.
When is the deadline for CCF applications?
All CCF applications are due by Thursday, December 17, 2009 at 5 pm. Late applications will not be accepted.
When will grantees be announced?
Grant announcements will vary by program. Source Festival CCF grantees will be notified by February 2010 and Gallery and Mead Theatre Lab grantees will be notified by April 2010.
What can I spend the grant funds on?
If awarded a CCF grant, you must have a project budget approved by a CuDC program manager. CCF support can be used to cover your time spent working on a project, material and supplies and other project-related expenses.
Can I apply for more than one grant?
Artists may apply to more than one program at Flashpoint or Source (e.g. the Mead Theatre Lab Program and Source Festival) during one grant cycle. In addition, you may be accepted to participate in more than one program in the same grant cycle. However, artists will be limited to receive only one CCF grant per grant cycle.
Can a curator apply to exhibit the work of artists in the gallery & receive a CCF grant?
We encourage curators to apply to the gallery program, however curators are not eligible to receive CCF grants. An artist, however, may submit the CCF portion of the application in conjunction with a full application to the gallery from a curator.
Can an artist apply to the gallery & use part of the CCF grant to pay a curator?
CCF is intended to support artists creating new work. However, artists are not restricted from hiring professionals to support their projects.
Can an organization apply for a CCF grant & use the money to pay artists participating in the project? (e.g. Mead Theatre Lab Program)
We strongly encourage organizations to apply to participate in our programs, but CCF grants will be awarded only to individual artists. However, an individual artist may apply for a CCF grant in conjunction with a full application from an organization.
How can I get help with the application process?
