Blackstone Cultural Council
We of the Blackstone Cultural Council are a small group of seven members at the present time who are enthusiastic about bringing some culture into our town. We hold many of our programs at the local library but also contribute to music concerts in the area, and they have all been well received and appreciated. Our members try to attend as many of the programs as possible and find our children programs especially well attended by the children as well as the parents. We hope to continue to service our community with the assistance of funds provided by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
