GREENFIELD — The Greenfield Local Cultural Council (GLCC) is accepting grant proposals from organizations, schools, and individuals seeking funding to support cultural activities in the community.

Greenfield received an allocation of $19,400 for this year’s funding round. The grant portal is now open. Click here to apply.
“Grants from the GLCC support a variety of vital community projects and activities in Greenfield, including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, or performances in schools, workshops, and lectures,” said Tim Fisk, GLCC chair.
Greenfield’s funding priorities are to support Greenfield-based artists, performers, and venues, although others may apply. The committee is particularly interested in proposals that include a public art component, that enhance the local economy or add value to existing initiatives, and that reach the broadest possible audience.
The GLCC is part of a network of 329 local cultural councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The program is the nation’s largest grassroots cultural funding network, supporting thousands of community-based arts, sciences, and humanities projects every year. The state Legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency that allocates funds to each community. Click here for more information.
