Chesterfield Cultural Council

Our Council serves the small rural community of Chesterfield, MA. We seek to enrich our town by giving funding priority to cultural programs that benefit all town residents, take place in Chesterfield, and/or are novel and innovative. By offering programs in the arts, sciences, and humanities our town becomes a welcoming and more interesting place to live, work, and visit.

The Chesterfield Cultural Council requires letters of agreement from venues where events will take place. For example, if your event will be at the Public Library, please include a note from the librarian agreeing that the event will be allowed to be held at the library. All funded events must be advertised in Chesterfield at least two weeks in advance. Posters, flyers, informational materials can be posted at the Library, The General Store, The Town Offices, The Senior/Community Center, and in local newspapers. For further information please email: culturalcouncil@townofchesterfieldma.com

FY23 Local Priorities

Our Council serves the small rural community of Chesterfield, MA. We seek to enrich our town by giving funding priority to cultural programs that benefit all town residents, take place in Chesterfield, and/or are novel and innovative. By offering programs in the arts, sciences, and humanities our town becomes a welcoming and more interesting place to live, work, and visit.

FY23 Local Guidelines

With a small budget, the Chesterfield Cultural Council is unable to fully fund most applications. We prioritize programs that benefit Chesterfield residents and our nearby local hilltowns. We require applicants to list other funding sources or requests for funding, and provide a letter of agreement attached to your application from venues where events will take place. For example, if your event will be at the Public Library, please include a note from the librarian agreeing that the event will be allowed to be held at the library. All funded events must be advertised in Chesterfield at least two weeks in advance. Posters, flyers, informational materials can be posted at the Library, The General Store, The Town Offices, The Senior/Community Center, and in local newspapers.
