The next Creative City application deadline is a little less than a month away! The deadline to apply is Tuesday, February 21, 2017 at 11:59PM EST.

Creative City supports artists who are interested in reimagining places for art, engaging public imagination, and inspiring community members to share in civic experiences in the public realm in the city of Boston. Learn more about funding priorities, eligibility, criteria, and access the online application.

Got questions or need some technical assistance? Here are some ways Creative City staff can help.

INFO SESSIONS
There are three more info sessions taking place next week:
