The purpose of the local and regional cultural councils is to support public programs that promote excellence, education, diversity, and inclusion in the arts, humanities, and sciences to foster a rich cultural life in communities across the Commonwealth. Local decision-making is an integral element of this system. Local Cultural Councils have the right and responsibility to award grants that address cultural needs specific to their communities.
The NBCC is open to North Brookfield residents and is currently seeking new members. The NBCC meets several times a year to review grant proposals and distribute funds in support of programs that enhance our community. For more information: NorthBrookfieldCulturalCouncil@gmail.com
