Sudbury Cultural Council
Established in 1982 as a part of a statewide program to develop cultural programs in local communities, the Sudbury Cultural Council supports and promotes community originated projects and activities in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences to benefit the residents of Sudbury. Members consist of a group of interested residents who are appointed by the Board of Selectman to disperse public funding allocated by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency whose budget is determined annually by the state legislature in July. The state divides this funding to each town in the state using a formula that includes population and economic status, although we are permitted to raise additional funds through donations and events.
We accept grant applications that are due on or about October 15, on an annual basis for cultural projects (including performances, lectures, and exhibits), events, and field trips designed to enrich the lives of our community. We encourage grant applications from residents and groups who work with Sudbury based organizations in order to enrich Sudbury life with a variety of cultural activities.
We also work collaboratively with organizations in the community in helping them develop ideas for programs and events. Organizations and individuals are welcome to discuss their thoughts with our members by contacting us at culturalcouncil@sudbury.ma.us or 978-443-4028. Sudbury residents interested in being a member of the committee may also contact us there.
