FY25 Local Priorities
This year the Littleton Cultural Council will give priority to:
– School engagement
– Public art within the Town of Littleton: Installations can be either permanent or semi-permanent; some degree of interactivity or community participation is encouraged, but not required. Projects should enhance and beautify Littleton, its history, peoples, and
places.
– Live music events or community gatherings
– Music, art, or events that incorporate themes of diversity, local history, and culture (perhaps related to Native American and Indigenous culture from our community’s history)
– Applications that have secured a local venue
