Newton Cultural Council
The goal of the Newton Cultural Council (NCC) is to support the cultural vitality of Newton by funding public projects and activities in the arts, sciences and humanities that benefit and enrich our Newton community. The NCC awards grants to artists, humanists and cultural organizations that demonstrate excellence and favors projects that foreground collaboration, innovation, diversity and inclusion.
The NCC strives to be an anti-racist, inclusive, diverse, equitable and accessible council. Newton Cultural Council actively seeks to engage diverse voices within our community and with the broader region.
The NCC does not fund public school programs.
The NCC will prioritize proposals with a confirmed venue, and a clear promotional strategy.
