About the Arts Council
The UMass Arts Council is an educational outreach department of the Fine Arts Center that provides funding and grant support to student organizations and academic departments whose projects enhance the UMass community through art. The council aims to support proposals that address contemporary issues and visions that elevate cultural awareness. The council believes accessibility to diverse and sometimes unexpected forms of artistic expression is indispensable to a multidisciplinary education.
