Sudbury Cultural Council

The Sudbury Cultural Council (SCC) supports and promotes community originated projects and activities in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences.

The Sudbury Cultural Council was established in 1982 as a part of a state wide program to develop cultural programs in local communities. The State awards grant money to each Town using a formula that includes population and economic status of the Town. The Sudbury Cultural Council consists of a group of interested residents whose purpose is to support community originated projects and activities

in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences to benefit the residents of Sudbury. We are appointed by the Selectman to disperse public funding allocated by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. The budget of the MCC is determined annually by the state legislature in July. Sudbury is assigned its allocation at that time. Every year beginning in the Summer and ending on or about October 15th the Sudbury Cultural Council accepts grant applications for cultural projects or events designed to enrich the lives of our community. We encourage grant applications from residents and from groups who work with Sudbury based organizations for the purpose of enriching Sudbury-life with any variety of cultural activities. Application procedures and grant application forms are available by clicking on the "list of links" below. Sudbury residents interested in participating in the committee should contact the committee chairman at the email address listed below. We welcome and encourage your support.

Join the Sudbury Cultural Council and the Sudbury Art Association in celebrating the success of the Art for All initiative — a community effort bringing creativity and art supplies to underserved populations across Sudbury and neighboring communities.
Thanks to generous donations, dedicated volunteers, and support from the Sudbury Cultural Council, 215 art kits were assembled and distributed through 9 local organizations in Sudbury, Maynard, and Weston.
Each drawstring bag is filled with art supplies for all ages because creativity, healing, and self-expression should be accessible to everyone.
Come learn more about the project, celebrate the volunteers who made it possible, and support future community arts initiatives.
