Featherstone Center for the Arts has been selected to participate in the Barr-Klarman Massachusetts Arts Initiative. A partnership between two Boston-based foundations — Barr and The Klarman Family Foundation — the initiative is a $25 million, six-year investment in 29 arts and cultural organizations from across Massachusetts.

Participating organizations receive flexible, multi-year operating support grants, in addition to training and technical assistance from TDC, a nonprofit consulting and research firm.

Featherstone’s engagement in the initiative begins with two grants totaling $225,000 from Barr and The Klarman Family Foundation over three years.
