The Montague Cultural Council wishes to encourage proposals from a broad range of applicants and to fund programs that allow Montague residents in all five villages to experience a diverse array of cultural events.
We encourage you to use the new online application system, but we recognize that access to technology is not equitable in our community, and we will provide you with a paper application if you need one. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need help.
We weigh many factors when making decisions about which proposals to fund. This year we will look most favorably on:
Projects which focus on Cultural Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Projects that elevate the voices and experiences of historically-marginalized groups to highlight the current and historical diversity of Montague. Projects should create opportunities for artists and community members who identify as Black, Indigenous, POC, LGBTQX, Latinx, refugee, immigrant, or person living with a disability.
In your application, you should:
- Tell us how your program will have significant public benefit for Montague residents.
- Describe specific efforts you will make to ensure that your program is accessible and inclusive.
- Explain how the work will be shared with the general public.
- Tell us how your program will increase opportunities for underserved audiences
Projects which demonstrate community support and planning will be prioritized.
In your application, you must:
- Demonstrate that you have thoroughly considered the logistics of implementing your project. Provide as much specific information as possible about venue, costs, collaborators, and scheduling.
Please Include letters of support from venues and collaborators if you can. The online application system will allow you to upload supplemental materials. If you are unable to, you can email or mail them to the below addresses. (Email is preferred whenever possible.)
