Grant applications for the Sandisfield Cultural Council’s next cycle are now open. Online applications will be accepted until Wednesday, October 16, at 11:59 p.m. Visit massculturalcouncil.org/local-council/sandisfield to apply.

Funded in part by the Town of Sandisfield, but with primary support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, the Council’s mission is to broaden and enhance the cultural life available to the residents of our town.

We encourage Sandisfield residents to apply. We prioritize local programs.

But you don’t have to be a Sandisfield resident. All applicants must be located or reside in Massachusetts and can include individuals, nonprofits, public schools, libraries, municipal agencies and religious organizations. All can apply for cultural programming that is available to the general public.

You may apply for projects, operating support, ticket subsidy programs, field trips, artist residencies, fellowships or other activities in the arts, humanities and sciences.

Last year we funded programs in music, dance, theatre, writing, education, and environmental stewardship, as well as supported community events like the Sandisfield Family Fun Day.

Sandisfield Cultural Council Members include Alexcia Adams, Karema Almeida, Connie Canty, Ellen Croibier, Jennifer Hibbins, Jennifer Lenzi, and Ashley Nikituk. Please reach out to us with questions or to get involved at sandisfieldma.gov/cultural-council. .
