The mission of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation is to build stronger communities and improve the quality of life for all residents in the areas it serves. This involves supporting various charitable programs and endeavors, including the promotion of education, the arts, and community development.
Beginning in 2023, the grant program will expand to include education and training opportunities for adult artists, focusing on professional development and entrepreneurship training to help artists sustain and make a living from their creative work. The Boschen Fund for Artists is dedicated to supporting emerging artists or those experiencing a significant change in their professional journey. The grant aims to assist artists in creating new work, either independently or through collaborations. It emphasizes advancing artists to the next development level and presenting their work innovatively. While predominantly focused on individual artists, the fund also considers proposals from organizations that commission artists or provide them with new opportunities to engage with audiences.
