(Information not yet available)
- We intend to encourage area performers and artisans of all ethnicities, religions, sexes and ages.
- We will survey the public from time to time to apply their criticism to our activities.
- We will continue to request an appropriation from Annual Town Meeting , not only for its spending power but as a further measure of community support. We have found that town funding gives us validity when seeking other local donations.
- We will accept grant applications for events scheduled at a distinct location on a specific date in Westborough or, in the case of field trips, originating and terminating in Westborough. Events must be advertised as open to the public and handicapped accessible.
- It will be our objective to have sufficient funds to grant some support to every approved grant. We also try to apply town funds to approved grants from Westborough-based organizations.
- We will continue to encourage grant applications from new sources, but we will not turn down applications from groups who have had previous grants.
- We will establish and maintain cordial relationships and advocacy with town governance and with our political contacts in Boston. They will be invited to Council events such as our grant reception and ARTS IN COMMON.
- We will continue to mount and staff ART IN COMMON both as a popular town festival and as our best defense against budgetary challenges in Mass Cultural Council funding.
- We will strive to maintain a membership of about a dozen volunteers and to include one or more high school students both as links to that community and as civic responsibility trainees.
- We will monitor performances by attendees to determine their quality and fitness for future consideration.
- We will develop and promulgate a calendar of cultural events for the community.
Approved by the Westborough Cultural Council at its August 3, 2016 meeting.
