Cultural Council

Welcome to The Walpole Cultural Council!

The Walpole Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The LCC Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation, supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, sciences, and humanities every year. The state legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, which then allocates funds to each community. 

Decisions about which activities to support are made at the community level by a board of municipally appointed volunteers and Board members of the Walpole Cultural Council.

This year, in response to input collected by the Walpole community, the Walpole Cultural Council will prioritize projects that promote music, cultural diversity and theater arts.

The FY26 Local Massachusetts Cultural Council Grant has been announced. Please find the detail list in FY26 Funding List section.
