MILTON CULTURAL COUNCIL SETS DEADLINE FOR LOCAL APPLICATIONS TO TAP STATE GRANT
The Milton Cultural Council has set October 15 as the deadline for organizations, schools and individuals to apply for grants that support cultural activities in the community. According to Council chairman David Ehrmann, these grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Milton -- including exhibits, festivals, short-term artist residencies or performances in schools, workshops and lectures. Last year, the Milton Cultural Council distributed $6,412 to local cultural organizations.
Mr. Ehrmann also says the Milton Cultural Council will entertain funding proposals from schools and youth groups through the PASS Program, a ticket subsidy program for school-age children.
The Local Cultural Council Program, of which the Milton Cultural Council is a part, is a grant program of the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), a state agency. The MCC provides allocations to each of Massachusetts' 351 cities and towns to support cultural activities. This is the largest program of its kind in the United States.
