Call for proposals for the Cultural Affairs/Distinguished Lecture Series

The Cultural Affairs/Distinguished Lecture Series (CA/DLS) Committee is accepting grant applications from the University of Maine and the University of Maine at Machias to enhance the artistic, cultural and intellectual life of the campuses.

Grants support up to 50% of expenses associated with cultural events, speaking engagements and lectures, with a maximum grant award of up to $3,000.

The CA/DLS committee accepts applications four times per year. The current application deadline is March 26. Grant applications submitted by then are for projects starting on or after April 23, although proposals for projects happening in the fall 2024 semester are encouraged.  

Proposals must be submitted online using the CA/DLS Grant Application Form.

Past awards have supported lectures and lecture series; Culturefest and the International Dance Festival; exhibits, performances and guest artists.  Guidelines for applications are found online.
