Survey Seeks Input On Worcester Arts, Culture Priorities

WORCESTER, MA — The Worcester Arts Council (WAC) is looking for input from residents about where it should send arts and culture funding in 2022.

The WAC opened its 2022 funding priorities survey this week. The survey asks residents what types of arts and cultural programs should be prioritized, and where in Worcester events should be held, among other questions.

In 2021, the WAC awarded close to $220,000 to artists and cultural groups, funding projects like the Southeast Asian Coalition of Central Massachusetts' annual Asian Festival and Moon Festival, the Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra Jazz in the Park series and the Pop It podcast.

The WAC is also offering a chance to win a prize. Anyone who completes the survey can be entered to win a $279 pair of Bose QuietComfort Earbuds.

The WAC is the local cultural council that receives funding through the state Massachusetts Cultural Council.
