The Weston Cultural Council is currently seeking grant applications from September 1 until October 16 from local organizations and individuals for programs and projects accessible to a broad spectrum of town residents that promote excellence, education, diversity, and inclusion in the arts, humanities, or interpretive sciences. Details can be found at https://massculturalcouncil.org/local-council/weston.

In the past, WCC grants have supported a wide range of activities, including community-wide festivals, concerts, and plays; exhibitions and projects by local artists; nature, science, and environmental education programs and participatory activities; video productions; after-school youth programs; workshops in writing and the visual arts; local history and cultural diversity projects; and lectures and book discussions in the humanities.

Grant applicants are encouraged to work with local institutions such as the Weston Public Library, the Arts and Innovation Center, and the Council on Aging to secure a venue in advance for their program. Programming can be in-person, online, hybrid, or hands-on where appropriate. Questions? Email wcc02493@gmail.com.
