Cultural Council
About us
We are a group of interested residents whose purpose is to support community-based projects and activities in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences to benefit the residents of Billerica. We are appointed by the Board of Selectmen to dispense public funding allocated by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, in addition to locally-raised funds. We are responsible for informing the public about the availability of public funding for cultural projects and for reviewing and approving applications.
How to get involved with a project
We would love to help sponsor your cultural project in or near Billerica! Visit the official application process for information on how and when to apply. Applications for 2023 are accepted between September 1st, 2022 and October 14th, 2022. We encourage you to plan out your project thoughtfully, reach out to local Billerica organizations when applicable, and build out your budget. When applications open up in October, you can apply at the Mass Cultural Council home.
