Funding Priorities
The Weymouth Cultural Council (WCC) is a volunteer group of Weymouth residents whose purpose is to support local public programs that promote access, education, diversity and excellence in the arts and humanities to benefit the residents of Weymouth.
The WCC has an important role in insuring that cultural opportunities are made accessible to all segments of the community, including children, teens, elders and the disabled. Preference will be given to performances and events located at Weymouth community venues, and established artists and organizations based in Weymouth or supporting the residents of Weymouth.
Programs we will fund include, but are not limited to:
- Community wide gatherings: festivals, concerts, plays, etc.
- School cultural enrichment programs
- Nature, interpretive science, environmental education projects
- Projects celebrating local history, cultural diversity
- Restoration or preservation projects (not related to capital expenditures)
- Neighborhood revitalization
- Local artists' live and work spaces, and professional development
