Wayland Cultural Council
The Wayland Cultural Council invites you to apply for grants to support your creative and new ideas. Our community has expressed interest in us supporting performing arts projects, concerts, art shows, presentations, community-wide gatherings related to arts, humanities, and sciences. Project proposals should aim to interest and benefit diverse constituencies in Wayland though activities of interest to Wayland residents offered in neighboring communities are also eligible with evidence of that local community’s support. The Council does not fund school field trips.
Please see our most recent funding list for general size and scope of our grant making.
