Sheffield Cultural Council
The purpose of the Sheffield Cultural Council is to promote and maintain the vitality of local cultural resources and to ensure that these resources are shared within the Sheffield and Ashley Falls community. The Council is committed to funding a diverse cross-section of activities in the realms of the arts, the humanities, and the environment. We support a variety of art forms, the ongoing work of individual artists, environmental education projects, collaborative proposals that bring together artists and other types of organizations, local cultural groups, and projects that serve specific populations: youth, elders, low-income, and/or disabled. Special consideration is given to projects and programs that take place in Sheffield, Ashley Falls, or in close proximity. Preference is given to applicants who can show a letter of support from a partner organisation or venue.
