Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Apply for community arts grants through the Hanover Cultural Council
Proposals for arts, humanities, and science programs are due October 17
Have you ever wondered what happens with the funds raised at Hanover Day?
Money from our annual celebration, plus Hanover’s share of state cultural
funds, is used to support arts, science, and humanities projects throughout
the year.
Between September 1 and October 17, 2023, the Hanover Cultural Council will
accept applications from organizations, schools, and individuals 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.
This year’s allocation to Hanover from the Massachusetts Cultural Council
(MCC) is $8,100, and additional funds are available thanks to the past
success of Hanover Day. The Council will meet later this fall to review the
applications and award the grants.
A webinar will be held on September 12 at 6 p.m. to review the application
process. Register at
Past events have included the Summer Concert Series by the Parks and
Recreation Department, the Drama Club programs at South Shore Vo-Tech,
funding for the Hanover Performing Arts Company, painting workshops, 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 MCC, a state agency,
which then allocates funds to each community. Local councils are allowed to
raise additional money through events like Hanover Day.
Applications and more information about the program are available online at

Chair, at (781) 254-3131, or charaden@comcast.net.
