LENOX, Mass. - Lenox Cultural Council Seeks Funding Proposals for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science projects due October 15, 2009.
The Lenox Cultural Council has set an October 15 deadline for organizations, schools, and individuals to apply for grants that support cultural activities in the community.
These grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Lenox -- including exhibits, festivals, short-term artist residencies or performances in schools, workshops, and lectures.
The Lenox Cultural Council will also entertain funding proposals from schools and youth groups through the PASS Program, a ticket subsidy program for school-aged children.
The Lenox 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 local council.
This year, the Lenox Cultural Council will distribute about $4,000 in grants. Previously funded projects include: The Fall Festival of Shakespeare, Lenox Contra Dance Series, and Catskill Puppet Theater "Willow Girl" at the Lenox Library to name a few.
