The Boston Foundation, with support and partnership from the Barr Foundation, has awarded 65 project grants to performing artists, groups and small producers and presenters across Greater Boston as part of the 2018 grant cycle for Live Arts Boston. In all, the 65 grantees, who were selected from over 350 applications, will share more than $785,000 to create, produce, or present their work to audiences.
