"We are particularly excited about the range and quality of the funded projects this year and the increased number of applicants that reflects the growing interests in the arts in our community. Each project was chosen because of its substantial public benefit for the residents of Hopkinton."
"Arts and culture are an important part of what makes our community vibrant," says Carolyn Dykema, State Representative. "I am proud to support the Hopkinton Cultural Council and its outstanding grant recipients."
The Hopkinton Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The LCC Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation, supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, sciences and humanities every year. The state legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, which then allocates funds to each community.
The Hopkinton Cultural Council will seek applications again in the fall. Information and forms are available online at www.massculturalcouncil.org or the Hopkinton Cultural Council’s chair, Sterling Worrell at culturalchair@hopkinton.gov.
