The MCC supports a variety of artistic projects and activities in Melrose including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, and performances in schools, workshops, and lectures. Priority is given to Melrose organizations and individuals, especially those in the visual arts, music, humanities, drama, and interpretive sciences. The MCC strives to provide financial support to projects that appeal to the diverse population of our community including families, adults, youth, and/or seniors. MCC is the local affiliate of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
Proposals must take place during the 2019 calendar year with a firm date, secured venue, and additional sources of funding (proposals must not request 100 percent funding).
