Welcome Arts in Medford How to apply for funding What we have funded Meetings Your input |
Welcome 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 are currently collecting community input from Medford residents through a survey (available as a printed page or on-line). If you complete the survey before September 1 and include your contact information, we will enter you in a drawing for several fun local prizes: gift certificates to the Medford Square Market, a print by June Holwell, a photo by Will Tenney, two gift certificates kindly donated by Kelly's Roast Beef, a one-year membership to MACI, and more. Click here to take the 2008 Community Input survey (hosted by questionpro.com). Who we are Members of the Medford Arts Council are appointed by the mayor for 3-year terms.
