| | | | | | | | | | The Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County is pleased and honored to announce that we are partnering again with Americans for the Arts for Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6), the sixth national study of the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry. (See our webpage on the 2015 AEP5 study here). Our local nonprofit arts and culture organizations have been and will continue to be critical to our economic recovery. With your help, this new study will give us the data we need to prove the arts and culture continue to mean business in Fairfield County! We will soon be inviting you to assist us by collecting audience-intercept surveys from your event attendees - our goal is a total of 800 surveys by April 2023. Stay tuned! |

| | | | Connecticut Humanities' Partnership Grants, of up to $100,000 per year, support Connecticut organizations and their projects in areas currently not served by CT Humanities and which have a strategic statewide, regional, or national impact in the humanities for the public.
Successful partnerships will address topics in areas including (but not limited to): - Improving the capacity of Connecticut museums, cultural, humanities, and arts organizations to bring the humanities to the public and their communities;
- Supporting K-12 educators in teaching CT social studies and humanities topics in ways that connect to CT State Standards and CT museums, cultural, humanities, and arts organizations’ collections;
- Presenting a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable Connecticut story by connecting to local communities, organizations, and collections;
- Integrating and/or providing content across organizations, platforms, communities, etc. to improve/increase public access to the humanities;
Through Partnership funding, CTH seeks to create a collaborative relationship with grantees that will result in resource sharing, co-creation, or co-direction of content. Successful grantees will join CTH’s other Funded Partners in working to craft a coherent vision and compelling case for the humanities in Connecticut and will produce tangible, measurable goals and objectives aligned with the funding priorities, mission, and strategic plan of CT Humanities. Deadline: October 7. |
