ROCHESTER — The Mass Cultural Council has adjusted to the challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic and continues to support a variety of artistic, scientific and humanitarian projects that provide rich cultural activities for the Rochester community. 

Many current grant recipients have had to alter their original proposals and use virtual format options, reorganize to comply with social distancing and postpone their events awaiting parameters from Governor Baker.

In spite of the coronavirus restrictions and changes, the Rochester Cultural Council will still continue to provide funding in 2021 for organizations, schools or individuals who support cultural activities in the community. Submit applications from Sept. 1 through Oct 15, 2020. 

Awards will be announced in December. For more information contact the Rochester Cultural Council at RochesterCulturalCouncil@gmail.com or visit www.mass-culture.org. The cultural council is currently looking for new committee members. Interested participants should contact the gmail address above.
