Avon Cultural Council
The goal of the Avon Cultural is to promote meaningful and entertaining in-town programs in support of the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences – open for all to attend. The Avon School field trips and the summer gazebo concerts are examples of applications we have supported as well as the Avon Library activities and the Senior Center programs.

FY22 Allocation

FY22 Local Priorities
The Avon Cultural Council will only be considering Avon-in town programs including local organizations for funding.
Applications for Avon School field trips will be considered for funding as in the past but now must use the Standard LCC form.
All applicants must apply via the LCC Online Application, and the Avon Cultural Council will not be accepting paper applications.
The Avon Cultural Council will continue to encourage interest in ideas for local cultural events available for young adults, seniors and families alike.
FY22 Local Guidelines
The Avon Cultural Council is dedicated to funding the Avon Schools and Avon organizations in their attempt to provide the community with activities supporting the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences. We encourage out of town artists to contact local venues of interest to advertise their programs rather than submit an unconfirmed incomplete application to the Council. The Avon Cultural Council will review all applications received and will gladly respond to any applicants requesting assistance. Student Field Trip information see above.
