Merrimac Cultural Council

Our Purpose

The Merrimac Cultural Council supports community-based Arts, Humanities and Interpretive Science events with funding allocated to us by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. We favor local applicants with established venues or sponsors. We hope to fund arts-related projects whenever feasible, and encourage new applicants or projects of particular interest to our local community. When reviewing applicants we also consider local needs, community involvement, and diversity.

Application Process

To apply, type and sign an application, then send three copies to the Merrimac Cultural Council, Town Hall, 4 School St., Merrimac MA, 01860.
