Christian Kelly, Public Relations & Events Manager
Last fall, Mass Cultural Council held a series of regional grant celebrations to recognize the incredible artists, cultural organizations, and partners that we’ve supported to date through our FY26 funding opportunities. We came together in Boston, Plymouth, Cummington, Dennis, and Hopkinton with friends from every corner of the cultural sector and beyond to celebrate accomplishments, share stories, and strengthen connections.
These events affirmed what we already know: our sector is strongest when we make space to gather, listen, and learn from one another.
And this spring, we’re excited to continue the celebration!
We are hosting five more grant celebrations in the regions we didn’t visit last fall. These events will honor grant recipients across all of our programs and create opportunities to connect with peers working in different creative, cultural, and community contexts.
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, or follow Mass Cultural Council on social media to be sure you don’t miss out.
We look forward to gathering with you this spring, and celebrating the people and organizations who make culture thrive across the Commonwealth.
