Weymouth Cultural Council Survey

The Weymouth Cultural Council is conducting the following survey ahead of reviewing applications for funding.

The Cultural Council is responsible for the distribution of Mass Cultural Council (state) funds to promote and encourage community-based programs in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences. The council annually reviews grant applications for eligible cultural programs.

The Mass Cultural Council's Local Cultural Council (LCC) Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences annually. Each year, LCCs serving all 351 Massachusetts communities award more than $3 million in grants to more than 6,000 cultural programs statewide.
