Walpole Cultural Council
The Walpole Cultural Council is a Local Cultural Council (LCC) of the Massachusetts Cultural Council (http://www.mass-culture.org). Our mission is to provide support for Walpole artists and arts organizations, and to help Walpole groups to provide access to the arts and sciences. The Walpole Cultural Council receives grant moneys from the Massachusetts Cultural Council each year. These funds, in turn, are allocated to local artists and organizations through the LCC grants program. We also review applications for the PASS program, which subsidizes ticket costs to arts events for school and youth groups. Paper applications are available at the Walpole Town Hall across from the Clerk's office and at the Walpole Public Library, or you can download an application from this site (see below). This year grant applications must be postmarked Saturday, October 15. The Walpole Cultural Council usually meets in early November to consider grant applications for the upcoming year.

We try to support a variety of programs for youth, seniors, and the general public across all disciplines. Applications with a local contact or sponsor are given preference. Most grants are small (under $1,000). New Changes in 2009: No hand-delivered applications will be accepted Applicants MUST submit a letter of support from a local sponsor Dates of proposed events must take place between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2011. We would like to request multiple paper copies (8) of applications submitted to the Walpole Cultural Council. The Council invites suggestions and questions about the grant proposal process.
