Completed grant applications should be mailed to the Marblehead Cultural Council, PO Box 1217, Marblehead, MA 01945 before October 15th each year. During the fall of 2014, a community input survey was distributed throughout town to check on community awareness, interest and to determine funding priorities for the next three years. Local artists, authors, performing arts and senior's interests were the priorities community selected to support.

What We Do The Marblehead Cultural council is one of 351 local organizations that are funded directly from the Massachusetts Cultural council to support community cultural, artistic, scientific and historical activities. Board members are appointed by the Board of Selectmen. We encourage local residents to submit applications which we review each fall and award grants. We also maintain the Marblehead Cultural Calendar, an online listing of arts and cultural events at www.marbleheadculturalcouncil.org. The Cultural Council meets at the Marblehead Community Center, 10 Humphrey Street. Meetings are scheduled throughout the year based on need. Information may be found on the Town of Marblehead web site- Marblehead.org or at culturalcouncilmarblehead@gmail.com, or contact Chair person Anthony Silva at 508-641-0767 or anthony0602@verizon.net

In order to apply for an LCC grant, applicants must meet all eligibility and criteria requirements of the LCC Program.

For more detailed information, refer to the full LCC Program Guidelines (PDF).

The Marblehead Cultural Council Priorities are based on our Community Input Survey and state guidelines. These results have indicated a preference to fund and support projects and development of local artists and cultural programs; arts in schools; historical, environmental and science education; community events and public performances. All projects must have a Marblehead location, benefit Marblehead residents, and be accessible to the general public. The MCC has voted to place emphasis on new, emerging and established artists and programs in local venues as well as culturally and racially diverse programming. Programs that have received MCC funding for multiple years may have a lower funding priority in the future so that we may consider new applications. All funding grants are limited. Each MCC funded project must be completed within the calendar year of the grant with funding expiring on December 31st of the grant year. All grants made by The Marblehead Cultural Council are reimbursement-based. If you are awarded a grant, you will be required to submit a final report and supporting documentation to the Marblehead Cultural Council upon completion of your program The Marblehead Cultural Council can only accept online applications.
