The Mid-Cape Cultural Council represents the towns of Barnstable and Yarmouth. The grant proposals that we fund are for programs that benefit the citizens of these communities by serving audiences, venues, schools, or artists, humanities or interpretive science presenters in the Mid-Cape Region. The grants must meet both state and local funding priorities. Our meeting dates, time, and location are posted at each town hall. Meetings usually take place at Barnstable Town Hall in Hyannis.
