LCC Program Information - About Your LCC

The Gill Cultural Council serves to create ample opportunities for cultural and artistic expression and experience for all residents, and to infuse the calendar with happenings and events that promote cultural literacy throughout the community. We work with the MCC to bring performers, artists, historians, naturalists, speakers, musicians, and workshop presenters to venues in town or nearby towns. Some of the organizations we have given money to in recent years include the Slate Memorial Library, the Gill Elementary School, the Gill/Montague Council on Aging, and the Gill HIstorical Commission. We will assist in the promotion of events upon request..

In order to apply for an LCC grant, applicants must meet all eligibility and criteria requirements of the LCC Program.

For more detailed information, refer to the full LCC Program Guidelines (PDF).

Based on feedback from our most recent community survey, the Gill Cultural Council will give priority to: - Projects and events that take place in Gill or one of the adjoining towns - Community-wide gatherings, such as concerts, that bring together people of all ages - Projects that benefit the town's elementary school children - A balance of fine art, theater, dance, music, history and writing projects - Nature, science and environmental education programs We will evaluate proposals based on how well they meet our local priorities as well as on the applicant's background, track record, and demonstrated planning. We give priority to projects generated by Gill residents, or which display a partnership with a organization or venue in Gill or adjoining town. We also give priority to applicants who seek diverse sources of funding and who clearly explain how the project will proceed without full funding.

An online application will be available September 1.
