Gill Cultural Council

The Gill Cultural Council seeks to create opportunities for cultural and artistic expression and experience for all residents. We encourage applications for live events and written and printed creations, but are also open to online offerings. We look for happenings and events that promote cultural literacy throughout the community. Supported by MCC, we work to bring performers, artists of all genres, authors, historians, naturalists, speakers, musicians, and workshop presenters to venues in town or nearby towns. We may prioritize events and activities that can happen in our town. We also prioritize applicants who have made positive contact with their proposed venue and can include letters of support from the venue or proposed audience. Some of the organizations we have given money to in recent years include the Slate Memorial Library, the Gill Elementary School, the Gill/Montague Council on Aging, the Gill Historical Commission, the Shea Theater, Pocumtuck Homelands Festival, and the Antenna Cloud Farm concert series. We will assist in the promotion of events upon request.
