Sharon Cultural Council
Our all-volunteer, municipally appointed council receives an annual allocation from the state to fund artistic, humanitarian and cultural projects by individuals, organizations and schools that serve a broad range of interests and needs. Our mission is to financially support events and activities that not only impact the residents of all ages but also reflect the diversity of Sharon. Our task is challenging since we receive many more proposals than we are able to fund.

The Sharon Cultural Council welcomes all applications that meet the state and local criteria.
