 #7 - CORRESPONDANCE - West Springfield Arts Council OPEN MEETING Monday, August 19, 2024


Q & A

  • Must grant applicants reside in Massachusetts?

The organization, group of individual  that applies just needs to be a MA resident and the project should serve a MA town. They can use the funds for how it fits the project needs, including paying for out-out-state performers, artists etc. ~ Sommers Smith, MCC 


  • Are Arts Council Open Meetings accessible offline for residents with disabilities?

If you need reasonable accommodations in order to attend the meeting, contact the ADA Coordinator, Kelley Beckwith - kbeckwith@townofwestspringfield.org in advance of the meeting. While the municipality will do its best to accommodate you, certain accommodations require the hiring of outside  contractors who may not be available if requested immediately before the meeting.
