West Newbury Cultural Council
The West Newbury Cultural Council provides yearly funding for local events surrounding the Arts, Humanities, and Interpretive Sciences. Our Council reviews applications for various events, including concerts, art exhibits, musical performances, historical series, literary festivals, library and school programs, theatrical events, class offerings for senior citizens and other populations, and other art-related programs. We appreciate emerging as well as established individuals and organizations. We strive to grant funding for a diverse group of community and surrounding programs. We are always looking for new members to join the Council and add a fresh perspective to Grant Season.
