Fitchburg Cultural Council

The FCC distributes cultural grants from funds allocated to our City from the Mass Cultural Council.

The Fitchburg Cultural Council is committed to supporting artistic, diverse, fun and inspiring programs for its residents. These programs: arts, science and humanities provide cultural enrichment in the everyday lives of our community. We serve as the conduit for conveying artistic and culturally based programs through grant solicitation, the selection of recipients and awarding funds made availab

le from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Such events include but are not limited to Civic Day’s and the Annual Blacksmith Festival.

🎨✨ Join Us for the Fitchburg Cultural Council Public Input Forum! ✨🎨
📅 Thursday, August 7, 2025
🕔 5–6 PM
📍 Fitchburg Art Museum, 185 Elm Street, Fitchburg

The Fitchburg Cultural Council wants to hear from YOU!
What kinds of arts, science, and humanities programs do you want to see in our community? This is your chance to shape the future of local cultural grant funding.

🌟 What to Expect

Agenda
Our hour-long forum will begin with a general introduction, giving residents a chance to meet the individuals appointed by the Mayor to represent arts and culture in our community. We will also explain how the Fitchburg Cultural Council operates, including how our grant cycle works. Additionally, we will walk through our new grant scoring model, discussing how funds will be awarded for the 2026 cycle.

We’re also excited to welcome grantee Derek Craig of Coff33 Corp., who will share his organization's experience as a recipient of an FCC grant; he will speak about the work his organization has done with our support. It’s our goal that potential 2026 applicants leave with a better understanding of how an FCC grant can benefit their work.

Most importantly, we want to hear from you!
The final half-hour of the meeting is dedicated to community input. We’ll review our Public Input Survey and invite you to share your thoughts on how our grantmaking can best reflect Fitchburg’s needs. For those who prefer not to speak aloud, a feedback board will be available for written questions and ideas as well as QR codes to direct you to our online survey.

💬 Spanish translation services will be available.

💥 Social Hour: 6–7 PM
Stick around after the forum for a fun and casual social hour, hosted by the Fitchburg Cultural Council!
