Webster Cultural Council announces proposed grants for 2013

WEBSTER --The Webster Cultural Council has announced the awarded grants for the year 2013.

A total of $6600 has been approved, pending final approval from the Massachusetts Cultural Council in March.

The council has undergone a renovation, is looking for additional members, and will be accepting grant proposals again in August of 2013 for the following year.  Any art programs, humanities, science and related areas that benefit the community of Webster will be considered.  It is the effort of local volunteers to this town committee that makes this program work.

This year’s grants will support a wide range of programs from concerts, artists, opera, senior activities, library programs and school programs that might otherwise not be provided.  Enriching lives through exposure to a variety of arts is essential to the enhancement of our community and we are pleased to fund the following:
