Lexington Council for the Arts
Mission
The Lexington Council for the Arts’ mission is to promote and fund community arts and culture activities to enhance the quality of life for Lexington residents.
Grants
The Lexington Council for the Arts (LCA) administers Local Cultural Council (LCC) Grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC). LCC Grants fund or partially fund proposals from individuals, schools and organizations that meet state MCC guidelines as well as Lexington’s local criteria.
Note: The grants are reimbursement based. (The grantees expend their own money, and after the project has taken place, they submit a form to Lexington’s LCC for reimbursement.)

FY25 Allocation
$9,400
FY25 Local Priorities
Applications are evaluated in terms of several review criteria: artistic or creative merit; benefit to the cultural life of Lexington; project design; qualifications, dedication and accomplishments of the individuals and organizations involved; accessibility of the program and of facilities being used; community involvement; and financial need.
Priority will be given to programs that benefit the broadest possible range of Lexington residents and to applicants who are based in Lexington. Also of interest is first-time funding of programs and emerging artists or organizations that have demonstrated artistic merit.
FY25 Local Guidelines
Lexington Council for the Arts (LCA) will prioritize programs that benefit the broadest possible range of Lexington residents and applicants who are based in Lexington. LCA is especially interested in first-time funding of programs and emerging artists or organizations that have demonstrated artistic merit. LCA is especially interested in projects that highlight the enduring impact of the American Revolution, given our involvement in the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the 1775 battles of Lexington and Concord.
