Hamilton's Harbor Voices Organization Awarded $4,000 In Grant

HAMILTON, MA — Hamilton-based Harbor Voices, a socially engaged public art collective, was awarded $4,000 in funding.

Harbor Voices was one of 56 organizations awarded funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

The funding is part of Mass Humanities' initiative to provide operating support grants to organizations that primarily serve the most marginalized people in our society, engaging them with the humanities in ways such as exploring their culture or values, sharing and connecting their stories, having conversations about the big questions facing our world, or developing literacy and the knowledge they need to become citizens.

“The grants awarded this month represent our commitment to the organizations that strengthen our democracy,” said Brian Boyles, Executive Director of Mass Humanities. “We believe access to the humanities is a fundamental right of every resident of the commonwealth as we grapple with the challenges facing our communities in 2020.”

The grants are made possible by funding from the Mass Cultural Council. Mass Humanities has awarded more than $1.2 million in grants to 207 organizations in 2020.
