The Wellesley Cultural Council, a grassroots funding network supporting community-based projects in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences, is recruiting new members.
This body is the local presence of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
Each fall, local organizations and individuals are invited to apply for grants (Swellesley was among 2026’s recipients, to fund a student reporter stipend).
If you’re interested in being considered as a member of the Wellesley Cultural Council, complete and submit the Town of Wellesley volunteer form. The deadline to apply is Friday, July 17.
$500 each for culture but we somehow have $175M for DPW and fire department… I guess that tracks in 2026. But don’t expect much cultural meaning for $500.
