Needham Council for Arts and Culture
The Needham Council for Arts and Culture provides financial support to artists, musicians, teachers, performers, and other individuals and groups who can enhance the cultural life of our community. Support is provided through grants that are awarded each year in January, with preference given to Needham-based individuals and groups. The Needham Council for Arts and Culture welcomes both traditional and innovative proposals that will enrich our already vibrant local arts community.
Needham Council for Arts and Culture is a direct reimbursement program. We will be making grant money available in full to grantees once their projects are completed and the paperwork is submitted. If you are awarded a grant, you will be required to submit a final report to the Local Cultural Council upon completion of your program.
