Mattapoisett Cultural Council is looking for grant proposals through Nov. 16 to support cultural projects and activities in and around Mattapoisett.

Proposals for exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies or performances in schools, workshops, and lectures will all be accepted.

Some previously funded projects include: theatrical, literary, and science programs for children and adults at Mattapoisett Free Public
Library; concerts by Seaglass Theatre Company, SouthCoast Children’s Chorus, and Tri-County Symphonic Band; youth concerts and music education for Mattapoisett students by New Bedford Symphony Orchestra; programs and exhibits at Mattapoisett Historical Society; and in-school and summertime arts and science programs sponsored by the Mattapoisett PTA, Old Rochester Regional High School, and New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance.

The cultural council will distribute about $10,000 in grants in the coming year, according to a press release from the council.
