Fairhaven Cultural Council
Culture brings an understanding of the wider world to communities by providing a shared language and creating connections among people, places, and institutions. Cultural programs, events, and exhibitions enrich the quality of life and well-being across a community. It is these experiences that the Fairhaven Cultural Council works toward delivering to all in our community. By providing direct funding to artists, performers, other creatives, and educators we strive to support projects that celebrate, preserve, and inspire creativity within the community, while also supporting the economic vitality of the Town of Fairhaven and the surrounding areas.
The Fairhaven Cultural Council serves all of Fairhaven. It is our goal to honor the breadth and diversity of its people and their cultural expressions. We fairly and equitably allocate our grants. We do not fund projects that discriminate based on age, ability, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, nationality, geographic origin, or immigration, military, or socio-economic status. We encourage all Fairhaven residents to participate in our activities–applying to serve on the council, seeking grant funding, and attending grant-winning programs. Together we make Fairhaven a better place and expand its potential.
