Seekonk Cultural Council
The Seekonk Cultural Council (SCC), administered at the state level by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), distributes allocated state funds through Local Cultural Council grants to promote the arts, humanities, and interpretive science within the community.
The Local Cultural Council grant is awarded annually, in the fall of each year. The Council also welcomes inquiries from artists and educators of all disciplines, as well as local organizations seeking visiting artists and educators, in order to facilitate cultural events and happenings that benefit the community. In other words, we’re happy to help artists find venues, and help venues find artists!
