Braintree Cultural Council
The Braintree Arts Cultural Council is comprised of individuals who either live or work in the community. Generally speaking, they have current experience in the arts and/or humanities. Because of their knowledge of the community, they have been in a position to solicit or encourage grant proposals from individuals or organizations whom they feel will inform and entertain groups in Braintree. These would include programs which benefit groups of school children, elderly and families. The members of the Council assess the degree to which each request will reach the most people within our community.
