History Funding from Local Cultural Councils: Talking through and workshopping LCC grant applications

A Conversation with Ymelda Laxton, Assistant Curator at Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library, and Heather Kowalski, Executive Director of the Bidwell House Museum.
SPECIAL GUEST: Lisa Simmons, Manager of the Local Cultural Council Program, Massachusetts Cultural Council.
Outside of Boston, Local Cultural Councils are a good source of funding for programming for history organizations. Applications are due on November 16. What should you apply for? What makes an application likely to get funded? Join us for a conversation on cultural councils and their preferences. Plus, we’ll be workshopping applications! Bring your draft application as well as any priorities statements by your Local Cultural Council. (Check out online application information here!)
The conversation will be moderated by Penni Martorell, curator of collections at Wistariahurst Museum and Holyoke’s City Historian. Registration is free.
This Conversation will be livestreamed. We will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the livestream. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive.
