The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod provides a variety of programming throughout the year aimed at strengthening, supporting, celebrating and promoting the diverse artistic, heritage, and cultural landscape unique to Cape Cod.

Creative Exchange

Creative Exchange highlights artists in every medium – including writers, performing artists, and visual artists –  and features outstanding speakers on an array of topics as well as plenty of time for networking. Many past attendees have great stories about the connections they’ve made at the Creative Exchange.

Spring & Fall Grants

The AFCC Grant Program provides cash awards in support of the artistic and cultural activities of local organizations and individuals. There are two rounds of grant funding each year, one during the Spring and another in the Fall.
