2025 Intake Open - Deadline September 15
Are you a North Shore artist in need of funding assistance to realize a creative project, pursue new training or develop new marketing materials? If so, the Fund for the Arts on the North Shore (FANS) is here to help. Over the years, the FANS Grant Program has provided local artists with cash grants, to assist in the pursuit of their creative goals.

FANS is forever grateful for the support received from local businesses. Many of these business have provide support year after year. Bravo to these amazing businesses!
