Granting support for innovative artistic and cultural endeavors that elevate our community!

Hingham’s Cultural Council is a group of residents who are appointed by the Select Board to dispense public funding by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Artists, musicians, non-profit community groups and schools with a cultural project may apply for funding by writing a grant proposal during the grant cycle. The application process normally begins September 1st; all grants must be submitted to the on-line grants management system by mid-October of the given year. Before applying for a grant, please visit Massachusetts Cultural Council at: https://massculturalcouncil.org/communities/local-cultural-council-program/

The Councilors review each application. Each project is then discussed in detail at our Voting Meeting, where we then select the appropriate projects for funding, based on our current guidelines.

LCCs may approve grants for a broad range of projects and programs, such as operating support, ticket subsidies, artist residencies, public art, community events/programs, site specific projects and and more, based on local priorities.
