The Medford Arts Council is a city-appointed agency of volunteers working to promote excellence, access, education, and diversity in the arts and humanities in order to improve the quality of life for all Medford citizens and foster a sense of community.
We offer grants to artists and organizations in Medford, and we work to support the growth of the arts and the arts community in Medford. Each year we provide funds to support numerous public activities in Medford in the areas of arts and culture, including concerts, festivals, performances, classes, and school field trips. The funds we distribute are an annual allocation from the Massachusetts Cultural Council through their Local Cultural Council (LCC) program.
We have three different 2010 Medford Arts Council postcards! If you'd like to buy the postcards, ask for them at the Royall House gift shop on weekends when they are open.
Or donate $20 or more, and you'll get a set of postcards while also supporting arts and cultural programs in Medford!
