City cultural council sets grant deadline

ATTLEBORO - The Attleboro Cultural Council has set an Oct. 15 deadline for organizations, schools and individuals to apply for grants that support cultural activities in the community.

Grant applications are available at city hall, the Attleboro Public Library, and attleboroculturalcouncil.org.

Council Chairwoman Anne-Marie Enderby said grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Attleboro, including exhibits, festivals, short-term artist residencies or performances in schools, workshops and lectures.

The council will also entertain funding proposals from schools and youth groups through the PASS Program, a ticket subsidy program for school-aged children. The council is part of a grass-roots network of 329 local councils that serve every city and town in the state. Last year, the council had more than $15,000 to allocate for local programs.
