Are you interested in supporting community-based projects in the arts, humanities, and sciences in Mattapoisett that enhance our quality of life? Each year, Mattapoisett Cultural Council awards funds for public cultural events such as plays and concerts, arts in the schools, community organizations, field trips for students to museums and performances, and more. These programs promote the availability of rich cultural experiences for Mattapoisett residents.
Council members are municipally-appointed volunteers who help determine how to disburse available funds to individuals, schools, and community organizations that apply for project support. Mattapoisett Cultural Council is seeking several new volunteers interested in serving as voting members to work together to allocate funding.
Council members are appointed for a term of three years. While we welcome prospective members who appreciate the cultural life of our community, individuals with skills and experience in accounting, publicity, web design, public advocacy, and event planning are particularly needed.
Information about the local cultural council program is available at www.massculturalcouncil.org/programs/lccgrants.asp.
If you are interested or have questions about becoming a member, please contact kcdamaskos@gmail.com. Deadline March 10.
