The Cultural Council will hold its next meeting on May 14 2013, at 6:30 pm. Our meeting will take place in the seminar room at the Chelmsford Center for the Arts (CCA).
The Chelmsford Cultural Council, a town board and agency of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, supports a variety of art programs, works of local artists, musicians, historians, and collaborative proposals that bring together artists, organizations, and local cultural groups for projects that serve the Chelmsford community. Last year, the cultural council funded more than $7,000 in grant projects; funding programs that support our local schools, community centers, knowledge of history, and the fine arts.

Each year the Massachusetts Cultural Council allots funds to local Cultural Councils for the Local Cultural Council (LCC) grant program to provide arts offerings to residents of all ages – like visual arts workshops, musical programs, storytelling and arts and crafts.
