Watertown Cultural Council
The Watertown Cultural Council (WCC), in alignment with the Mass Cultural Council (MCC), is committed to funding public programs that promote excellence, accessibility, diversity, and learning in the arts, humanities, and sciences for all members of the Watertown community. The WCC mission, like that of the MCC is to “advance the Commonwealth’s creative and cultural sector by celebrating traditions and talents, championing its collective needs, and equitably investing public resources.” The WCC seeks high-quality programming that will occur in Watertown for the benefit of Watertown residents.

FY25 Local Priorities
This year the Watertown Cultural Council priorities are:
– Advance diversity, equity, inclusion and increase access to the arts, humanities, and sciences
– Promote community-wide gatherings through, but not limited to, festivals, concerts, plays, and exhibitions
– Enable programs for artists and students of all ages through educational opportunities
– Promote programs that interpret the natural environment, sciences, and environmental issues
– Explore social and cultural histories of Watertown through community events
– Support collaboration, cooperation, and growth among Watertown organizations
FY25 Local Guidelines
Although grantees do not need to reside in Watertown, all projects and programs should take place within Watertown or benefit Watertown residents. All grantees should adhere to the Mass Cultural Council publicity guidelines to acknowledge WCC funding. And finally, clearly defined, specific, and thorough applications are more likely to be successful.
