Norfolk Cultural Council Supporting public programs that promote education, diversity and excellence in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences in Norfolk and across Mass

The Norfolk Cultural Council (NCC), a member of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, has been providing cultural events to the Town of Norfolk for over 30 years. The NCC‘s purpose is to support public programs that promote education, diversity and excellence in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences in the community and across the Commonwealth. Local councils have a right and the responsibi

lity to award grants that address cultural needs specific to their community, and they can decide how to distribute allocated state funds as long as state policies are followed. Programs like the Un-Common Theater , the Hornithology Ensemble Company, Mass Audubon at Stony Brook, Norfolk Reads Together, Norfolk Quill, and a Journey Through Music are but a few of the events funded in the past. The Norfolk Public Library, in collaboration with the NCC, has also opened its doors to local artists to show their artwork in the library’s Community room. The NCC is charged with scheduling, organizing and if needed, assisting the artist hang their artwork for optimal presentation to the residents of Norfolk. Periodically the Norfolk Cultural Council holds a competitive art show to showcase the talent from the surrounding towns. Fees are collected from the artists who want to show their work. The collected money is then used for prizes and awards. A reception is frequently held during the award ceremony with live entertainment and refreshments.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Norfolk Cultural Council booth at Community Day and added a little color to our collaborative paint-by-number project! It was amazing to watch the canvas come to life throughout the day.

Community art is a reminder that every contribution matters, and we’re so grateful to everyone who picked up a brush, said hello, and celebrated creativity with us.

Thank you for making Community Day such a colorful success! 💙💚🧡❤️
