Lowell Cultural Council
The Lowell Cultural Council’s (LCC) mission is to promote excellence, access, education, and diversity in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences to improve the quality of life for all Lowell residents and to contribute to the economic vitality of this community through the re-granting of public monies awarded to the LCC by Mass Cultural Council (MCC). The Lowell Cultural Council is an agent of Mass Cultural Council, which receives funding from the Massachusetts Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. Distributions are based on a local aid formula devised by the state and are not determined by the individual municipality.
