The Connecticut Community Foundation (CCF) believes that there is significant value in the use of the arts as a tool for youth and community development.
In an effort to complement existing arts education programs offered in schools, CCF is excited to offer a new grant opportunity, “Living Art”, for arts, youth, and community agencies to work together to bring interactive arts programming to under served populations in Waterbury that also allow opportunities for community engagement and revitalization.
Funding also is available to organizations located outside of Waterbury as long as their program will be offered in Waterbury.
