Hanover Cultural Council funding proposals sought

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Cultural Council is now seeking funding proposals for
community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs!

The Hanover Cultural Council has set an October 15 postmark deadline
for organizations, schools and individuals to apply for grants that
support cultural activities in the community.

According to Council Chairperson Katie Duff, these grants may support
a variety of artistic projects and activities in Hanover including
exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies or
performances in schools, workshops and lectures.

The Hanover Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local
Cultural Councils (LCC) 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
in state funded grants. Previously funded projects include: Plimouth
Plantation and Heritage Museum library passes, Whale Day at Hanover
Middle School, an “Introduction to Birding in Hanover” with
Massachusetts Audubon, artists in residence in the Hanover Schools,
and sponsorship of groups in Hanover including the Harbor Choral Arts
Society and the Hanover Diversity Committee.

For specific guidelines and complete information on the *Hanover
Cultural Council*, contact Katie Duff at 617-653-8433 or
aribba@aol.com
. Application forms and more information about the Local Cultural
Council Program are available online at
