Cultural Council

The Rockport Cultural Council (RCC) is one in the 355-member network of Local Cultural Councils which are funded and managed by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) to provide state grants and/or programming to promote excellence, access, education and diversity in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences in every Massachusetts community.

MCC receives funding from an annual state appropriation. Each year MCC distributes funds to RCC as well as all of the other local state councils based on a local aid formula devised by the state; in turn, RCC awards grants to schools, organizations and individuals in their communities based on that community's cultural needs. Check out grant recipients for FY2006.

RCC members are appointed by Rockport Selectmen and include from 5 to 22 members, each of whom may serve up to two consecutive three-year terms. As of April 16, 2010 there are currently two openings. Letters of interest should be submitted to the Selectmen's Office.

Grant applications are made directly to RCC.
Postmark deadline: October 15.
