LCC Program Information - About Your LCC

The Swampscott Cultural Council (SCC) seeks to enhance the quality of life for Swampscott residents by promoting and funding community cultural activities. Through funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the SCC awards a number of annual grants to individuals and organizations. These grants, in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences, serve to add vibrancy to the town, introduce a cross-section of cultural events, enrich community life, and connect citizens of different ages and generations.

In reviewing proposals for funding this year, Swampscott Cultural Council seeks proposals that promote diverse culture while placing an emphasis on: · local artists and programs · new, diverse programming · programs that will benefit the greatest number of residents · collaborative programs between artists and local institutions · programs and events that have acquired additional sources of funding · programs that are free to the public · meticulous planning We will draw from the results of the Swampscott Cultural Council's Summer 2017 community input survey, which identified several funding priorities: 1. Community events and public performances 2. Arts/cultural programming for the schools 3. Nature, science, environmental education projects 4. Public arts projects 5. Supporting cultural diversity Please note: Programs funded by the SCC for two years or more will have a lower priority in subsequent years. Programs or events that take place in schools will be viewed more favorably if additional or follow-up learning will be integrated into the classroom. Due to limited resources and the interest in providing diverse programming, we are more likely to fund grants between $200 and $750.

An online application will be available September 1.
