The Cummington Cultural Council promotes arts in this town centrally located within the Hilltown region. We maintain a gallery for the display of two-dimensional art in the town's Community House on Main Street, which affords local artists a venue to publicize their work. The shows are installed for one month, with the artist encouraged to have an opening reception. We sponsor a community show annually, soliciting contributions from individuals submitting work on a given theme. The Community House also has an auditorium available for performances, and the Town of Cummington has an outdoor gazebo and open-area park.

Funding Priorities
Our priorities for grant funding are clear local benefit, elder or child target participants, and new ideas. We tend to fund large-budget projects only if funding from other councils is sought.
