The Rochester Cultural Council is attempting to bring culturally enriching programming to the Tri-Town area.

The RCC is now accepting online applications from organizations, schools and individuals for grants to support community-oriented arts, humanities and science programs.

The online application window is open from Sept. 1 to Oct. 17.

The group is made up of volunteers appointed by the Rochester Select Board, with a mission to “promote excellence, access and diversity in the arts, humanities and sciences to richly enhance the quality of life in the Rochester community.”

The Rochester Cultural Council “strives to achieve these goals through the funding of local programs with grants awarded by the Mass Cultural Council,” read a press release. “Special priority is given to non-profit applicants from the town of Rochester, and to surrounding community projects that would substantially enrich Rochester and its residents.”

The Mass Cultural Council is a state agency who awards local councils more than $3 million in grants to more than 5,000 cultural programs statewide every year.

Programs that could receive grants include field trips, projects and theater productions.
