Grafton Cultural Council
The mission of the Grafton Cultural Council is to promote and maintain the vitality of local cultural resources and to ensure these resources are shared within the Grafton community. The GCC is composed of volunteer Grafton residents who share a passion for improving our community by distributing Mass Cultural Council grant money to exciting local cultural events. We welcome new members to join the GCC.
The GCC is committed to supporting events through access, education, and diversity in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences to improve the quality of life for all Grafton residents and contribute to our community’s cultural vitality. We support a broad variety of art forms, including programs that may feature workshops, lectures, performances, exhibitions, festivals, science education, music, and the arts, as well as grants for field trip programs and school cultural activities
