FY26 Local Priorities
The priority for the North Brookfield Cultural Council, as required by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, includes a focus on the arts, humanities and sciences, events that benefit the public, and grants that do not discriminate in accordance with state law. The results of the 2025 LCC survey showed that the community would like to see more festivals and fairs, musical theater productions and opportunities that showcase science, nature and the environment within the community. We are committed to local community involvement and will be prioritizing local grant submissions from North Brookfield residents and those in surrounding towns.
FY26 Local Guidelines
Applicants should have an event with a secured venue, tentative date and confirmation included with the application.
Applicants should include a detailed publicity plan and a defined budget.
Local and/or first time applicants will be prioritized over those who submit repeat applications.
Events that benefit the greater public will be given priority over those geared to a target audience.
