Council Information

News & Events

Grant Application Forms are created by the MCC, and are available at least three weeks prior to the October 15 submission deadline on-line.. Please read the Falmouth Guidelines (click on the "Local Guidelines" tab above) before submitting applications to the Falmouth Cultural Council, and follow them when filling out the forms. See the Mass. Cultural Council site for additional tips, guidelines, and information.

The Massachusetts Cultural Council allocates money each year to the town to support programs in the Arts, Humanities, and Interpretive Sciences. The Falmouth Cultural Council calls for grant proposals, chooses the projects to grant, and supervises the distribution of the grants.

The Falmouth Cultural Council recognizes the arts as the visual arts (painting, illustrating, printing, and photography), plastic arts (sculpture, ceramics, glass, jewelry, woodworking, architecture, and product design), performing arts (music, theater, dance), digital arts (audio, graphics, image, video, and web design), fiber arts, and literary arts. Then there are any venue, producers or "Cultural" entity that supports these arts.

Funding Priorities

In addition to the Funding Priorities listed in the MCC Guidelines, The Falmouth Cultural Council will consider these Criteria:

Priority is given to Falmouth area artists and interpreters of the sciences, Falmouth-based cultural organizations, and Falmouth audiences. Events should take place in Falmouth or benefit the Falmouth community. For events and activities, contact should be made and documented with the sponsoring institution. (For example, if you wish to have an activity at the Senior Center, you must contact the Senior Center Director as part of the planning process prior to submitting an application).

The project must show the potential to promote excellence, educational opportunities, access to and diversity in the arts, humanities or interpretive sciences.

The Council reserves the right to not provide funds to an applicant that has received funds for the last three grant cycles. Applicants, in the content of their application, must show commitment to their discipline as evidenced by previous training or achievements. However, groups or individuals who are new to the application process are especially encouraged to submit proposals.

The application must demonstrate thoughtful planning and aim for high quality results.

The project should be able to elicit community support and involvement.

A project that attracts an underserved group or a broad spectrum of the population may merit special consideration.

Local Guidelines

Potential applicants will be invited to an informational meeting, which will be scheduled several weeks prior to the application deadline. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about the grant application process, though it is not intended as a time to pitch a particular proposal.

This year the Falmouth Cultural Council is accepting just online applications..

Funding is for events/works that take place in the calendar year following the October application deadline.

Programs must be specifically described with names, artist fees, letters of support from collaborators/facilities, etc.

Notification of Approval/Disapproval: The Falmouth Cultural Council will meet in early November to review the applications. The Council will inform any applicants of disapproval by the end of November, and approval by mid January. Approvals and disapprovals will be sent by email.

An online application will be available October 1.
