Grant Money Available

By Louise of THE HOLE THING

I am a board member on the Lexington Council for the Arts. Each year our council reviews grant applications from individual artists/performers, schools, and cultural organizations and awards Massachusetts Cultural Council funds to projects that provide a local public benefit.

These grants can support a variety of artistic projects including exhibits, festivals, installations, performances, workshops or lectures. In addition, funding for cultural field trips is also available through the PASS program, which subsidizes the cost of admission for students to attend performances, educational tours and exhibits.

If you are interested in applying for a grant visit the Mass Cultural Council's website or call Barbara Ciampa at 781-861-8433 or Zoe Perry-Wood at 617-803-4659. All application requests must be postmarked by October 15, 2008 to be eligible.
