The Westwood Cultural Council, part of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, is seeking applications for grants to fund local community cultural programs, with upcoming deadlines in October.
Individuals, groups, and organizations may apply for projects such as workshops, lectures, exhibitions, science education and performing arts projects. All applications must be completed online and are due by October 16, 2024.
Grants are awarded after consideration of the benefits go the community, the qualifications of the individuals and organizations, community interest and the population segments served.

In addition, this year, another program is available that offers grants of $5,000.00 for school based projects that foster creative learning experiences in the arts, sciences, and humanities for K-12 students. This is a separate program and must be applied to separately. The closing date for this program is October 10, 2024.

These are great strides in addressing concerns about a lack of openness and two way dialogue raised by Westwood citizens. Thanks to the Select Board and to Mr. Read for listening and acting.
Thank you Ms. Galkowski for this thoughtful acknowledgement of positive steps being made by our Town government. My generation loves the positive empowerment. Exemplary.
In promulgating the public comment policy, the Select Board has taken a big step towards showing willingness to engage in conversation with Westwood residents about the many important issues at hand—currently, the Fire Station 1 and the budget.
