The Dudley Cultural Council is accepting online applications for its grant program that will award more than $11,000 in 2024.

The council seeks grant applications from qualified local organizations, schools, and individuals for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs. The application submission deadline is October 17, 2023.

The Dudley Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The state legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, which then allocates funds to each community. In 2023, the Council awarded 16 grants for a total amount of $12,287.

This year, the Council will distribute about $11,100 in grants. Some of the previously funded projects include Celebrate Trails Concert by Raianne Richards and Mark Mandeville, Celebrating the season of
Mother's Day and Father’s Day by Davis Bates III at the Dudley Senior Center, and Tanglewood Marionettes at the Dudley Elementary School for Grades 2 and 3.
