Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Apply now for community arts grants through the Hanover Cultural Council.
Proposals for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs are
due November 16.
Despite continued uncertainty with the Commonwealth’s FY21 budget, the
Massachusetts Cultural Council and its local affiliate in Hanover have
opened the process to apply for grants for the coming year.
The Hanover Cultural Council uses its share of state cultural funds, in
addition to money raised at Hanover Day, to support arts, science, and
humanities projects throughout the year. Although Hanover Day 2020 was
canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the local Council still expects
to receive state funding once the budget is finalized. The exact amount has
yet to be determined.
November 16, 2020 is the deadline for organizations, schools, and
individuals to apply for grants to fund cultural activities in Hanover.
These grants can support a variety of arts, science, and humanities
projects, including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist
residencies or performances in schools, workshops, and lectures.
Applications and more information about the program are available online at
www.mass-culture.org.
Past events have included the Summer Concert Series by the Parks and
Recreation Department, the Drama Club Dinner Theater programs at South
Shore Vo-Tech, funding for the Hanover Performing Arts Company, Pastel
Painting Workshops, the Annual Hanover Day Art Exhibit, Museum of Science
Outreach program at Cedar Elementary School, several museum passes and
children’s programs at the John Curtis Library, and sponsorships of
programs for the Walnut Hill Garden Club, South Shore Natural Science
Center, Hanover senior center, and many others.
The Hanover Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural
Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The state
legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Massachusetts Cultural
Council, a state agency, which then allocates funds to each community.
Local councils are allowed to raise additional money through events like
Hanover Day.
For more information, contact Chris Haraden, Hanover Cultural Council
Chairman at (781) 254-3131, or charaden@comcast.net.
