Methuen Cultural Council
The Cultural Council is made up of volunteers who are appointed by the City Council for a term of three years. The Cultural Council functions under guidelines established by the MA Cultural Council (MCC) which allocates funding to each community. The mission of the Methuen Cultural Council is to support public projects that promote access, education, diversity and excellence in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences in the community or of benefit to our community. The Council offers support through awarding grants from state allocated funds to individuals and organizations. The Council aims to act as an advisory group to town committees, boards and departments promoting the arts and cultural attributes of Methuen.
