Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Hanover Cultural Council has
set an October 15, 2010 postmark deadline for organizations, schools and
individuals to apply for grants that support cultural activities in the
community. According to Council spokesperson Katie Duff, these grants can
support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Hanover — including
exhibits, festivals, short-term artist residencies or performances in schools,
workshops and lectures. The Council will also entertain funding proposals from
schools and youth groups through the PASS Program, which provides subsidies for
school-age children to attend cultural field trips.
The Hanover 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 Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency,
which then allocates funds to each community.
This year, the Hanover Cultural
Council will distribute about $3,870.00 in grants. Previously funded projects
include: programs at the John Curtis Library such as their piano concerts, “Two
Old Friends”, and the Plimouth Plantation pass; “Christmas
Splendor”, a Harbor Choral Arts Society concert; outreach for Hanover
High School Music Department and more.
For specific guidelines and
complete information on the Hanover Cultural Council, contact Chair Katie Duff
at 781-878-0424 or aribba@aol.com. Application
forms and more information about the Local Cultural Council Program are
available online at www.mass-culture.org/lcc_public.asp. Application
forms are also available at the John Curtis Library and Hanover Town Hall/Clerk’s
Office.
