Waltham Cultural Council
The Waltham Cultural Council supports the arts, humanities, and sciences through grants and advocacy for nonprofit cultural organizations, schools, and artists. Through our efforts, we strive to make our community a better place to live, work, and visit. As a public investor in the arts, humanities, and sciences, we work to ensure everyone in our community has a place in our rich cultural life.
We fund activities and events that celebrate cultural diversity and local history, engage the community, and increase access to arts education for the Waltham community. Priority is given to projects that support initiatives with a specific focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
New applicants are encouraged to apply.
