JOIN THE WEST SPRINGFIELD ARTS COUNCIL

The West Springfield Arts Council is one of 329 local cultural councils working in partnership with the Mass Cultural Council to award grants to qualified individuals and organizations for projects that benefit the community. Grants range from $250 to several thousand dollars.

Cultural programs include everything from field trips to lectures, festivals, puppet shows, art classes, and dance performances.

Annually, the West Springfield Arts Council seeks online proposals for community-oriented humanities and science programs. Council members consider each proposal that is submitted and determine the applicants that successfully meet the funding criteria established by the Mass Cultural Council.

The West Springfield Arts Council holds meetings in the Rotary Room of the West Springfield Public Library - usually the third Monday from 6:00 pm to 7:45 pm. - to review current projects and to plan new initiatives.  All meetings are open to the public.

Arts Council minutes, agendas, and links to news & updates, are posted online on the West Springfield website.
