THE PELHAM CULTURAL COUNCIL SEEKS FUNDING PROPOSALS
Proposals for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs due October 15, 2026.
The Pelham Cultural Council encourages organizations, schools, and individuals to apply for grants that support cultural activities in the community.
These grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Pelham or the Amherst-Pelham public schools—Including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, performances, workshops, and lectures.
Funding priorities include:
programs featuring Pelham visual and performing artists, writers, musicians, scientists, historians, or other subject area experts
programs which feature global perspectives
This year, the Pelham Cultural Council will distribute approximately $5,700 in direct-funding grants. Previously funded projects and performers include:
support for a local ballet studio,
and a multi-medium, multilocation community art and place-making celebration called Picturing Pelham.
The Pelham Cultural Council is part of a network of Local Cultural Councils (LCCs) across the Commonwealth, publicly funded through the Mass Cultural Council (MCC) supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, sciences, and humanities every year. Enclosed are last year’s funded programs.
