LCC Program Information - About Your LCC

Do you have a great program idea to enhance quality of life in our community? The Dover Cultural Council (DCC) can help make it happen!

The DCC is one of Massachusetts' Local Cultural Councils, which serve all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. We help bring unique and diverse programs in the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences to our town via state legislature-appropriated funding.

Previously funded programs include exhibits, drama festivals, science fairs, short-term artist residencies and performances in schools, nature-based workshops, lectures, and a lot more. Please consult our Local Cultural Council Priorities for more detailed information regarding our selection criteria.

Our online application form is available at www.mass-culture.org. The application deadline is November 16, 2020.
