Christian Kelly, Public Relations & Events Manager
This year, Mass Cultural Council will invest $26.2 million into the Commonwealth’s cultural sector through various FY26 funding opportunities. Our grants support everything and everyone from creative individuals and teaching artists to cultural organizations and facilities to educational activities and community arts, and so much more.
And we feel like that’s something worth celebrating!
We will host 10 public events – one in every region of the state – to honor the work of our grant recipients across all of the Agency’s programs.
We want these gatherings to be opportunities where you can meet some of your colleagues who work in different spaces in your region, build connections, network, and look for new opportunities to collaborate – because our sector is strongest when we work together.
Be on the lookout for announcements of when we’ll be in your area. We’ll be updating this page as more details are finalized. Keep an eye on Agency Dates and subscribe to the Power of Culture e-newsletter to be sure you don’t miss out.
