FY25 Local Priorities
The Conway Cultural Council supports programs in the arts, humanities, and sciences that are of benefit to the community.
The Conway Cultural Council gives preference to applicants from Conway and/or programs that take place in Conway, as well as those that will be of benefit to the residents of Conway. The Council also considers the number of residents served. Typical grant amounts range from $150 – $500.
Applications must be submitted electronically and should include brief supplementary material on the artists/presenters involved.
Events MUST have a confirmed venue at the time of application.
A letter from the venue confirming their support for the project MUST be included.
If you would like information about potential venues, please contact:

FY25 Local Guidelines
All grant applications should be made online through the MCC website. The Conway Cultural Council does direct grants and requires that a venue be secured before the application is submitted. A letter of confirmation and support from that venue must be included in the application. Failure to include these items will result in a denied application.
