The Fitchburg Cultural Council is committed to supporting diverse and inspiring programs for its residents. These programs in arts, culture, science and humanities provide cultural enrichment in the everyday lives of our community. We serve as a conduit for conveying artistic and culturally based activities through community programs and grant solicitation.
