Based on community input, the Manchester Cultural Council gives priority to projects that foster community-wide participation (such as festivals and concerts); that support art education for children and nature, science, and environmental activities for all ages; and that celebrate local history and cultural diversity. Other priorities include projects that are accessible to all residents, take place in a local venue, and show local support.
The Manchester Cultural Council evaluates grant applications based on benefit to the community, artistic/creative merit, clarity of the proposal, and evidence of planning, as well as on the qualifications and track record of the applicant.
An online application will be available September 1.
