FY23 Local Priorities
Our mission is to support cultural events for the citizens of Hingham and surrounding communities on the South Shore. Applications that fit this criteria are given priority. The Cultural Council’s primary purpose is to ensure that Hingham’s share of funds from the Mass Cultural Council are administered fairly and equitably in the best interests of the Hingham community. It is also the Council’s mission to seek out and encourage enterprising and innovative activities in the arts that can benefit and add to the quality of life in Hingham. These activities should expose a wide range of audiences to fresh, stimulating and culturally enriching experiences. The goal of the HCC is to raise awareness and encourage individuals, groups and organizations to apply for support toward presenting programs that will benefit Hingham and its citizens.
Please note: “Salary” may be considered compensation for the applicant as artist/performer, salary for a police detail, Director stipend, etc. Consideration for funding varies greatly based on how any salary is applied. Salary to the organization preparing and or applying for the grant shall not receive the same validation for granting as salary used towards performances and or event needs.
