About

The Local Cultural Council (LCC) functions under guidelines established by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), which allocates funding to each community. The purpose of the Local Cultural Council is to:
  • support public projects that promote access, education, diversity, and excellence in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences in the community
The Council regrants the state funds to individuals and organizations in the Town as part of a two-tiered process in which the LCC acts on applications, which are then reviewed by the MCC for adherence to guidelines set forth in the state law and regulations.

By state law, members are initially appointed for a six-year term, may be reappointed for two three-year terms, then must go off for at least a year before they are eligible for reappointment. In Groton, the terms have been shorter, two or three years.
