RICHMOND, Mass. - The Richmond Board of Selectmen is currently seeking individuals interested in being appointed to the Richmond Cultural Council. A recent resignation and the required term limits for several other members has created vacancies on the Council.
The Council’s primary purpose is to distribute the annual funding provided by the Massachusetts Cultural Council in ways that address the cultural needs of the Town. This is done through an annual grant process where organizations and individuals submit proposals for projects that will provide cultural opportunities for residents. The Council reviews these proposals and awards funding to those that best advance the goal of advancing community cultural programming.
The Massachusetts Local Cultural Council Program was established in 1982. Currently, there are 329 LCCs in Massachusetts that form an extensive grassroots system of public support for community cultural programs. Collectively, these councils distribute more than $1.95 million each year to fund cultural activities in all 351 cities and towns within the state.
Anyone interested in being appointed to the Council is encouraged to contact the Town Administrator, Matt Kerwood at (413) 698-3882 or at m.kerwood@richmondma.org.
