The Marion Cultural Council would like to announce that applications for grants are now available either online (www.mass-culture.org/lcc_public.asp) or at the Elizabeth Taber Library.

The deadline for applying is October 15. The council will be looking for grants that involve a range of cultural activities in our area including art exhibits, musical performances, storytelling, field trips, reading programs, festivals, etc. We have approximately $3800 to distribute, and we will do our best to fund as many projects as possible.

Previous recipients include the Tri-County Music Association, the Elizabeth Taber Library, the Marion Natural History Museum, the Buzzards Bay Musicfest and New Bedford’s Summerfest.
