The Winchester Cultural Council is a group of volunteers, appointed by the town's Select Board, who work to serve the artistic and cultural life of the town. The State of Massachusetts, through the Massachusetts Cultural Council, gives Winchester a grant of money each year to support the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences. The WCC then awards this money to local individuals and groups who have submitted grant applications.
Members of the Cultural Council are:
- Peter Pulsifer (Chair), Mystic Valley Parkway
- Arsen Bagdassarian (Treasurer), Wainwright Road
- Sarah Colella, Manchester Road
- Trish Gannon (Vice Chair), Highland Avenue
- Jeanette Kolodziej (Clerk), South Border Road
- Jian Liu, Highland Avenue
- Margaret Lynch, Partridge Lane
- Mingdi Zhang, Orient Street

Cultural Council membership is open to all interested Winchester residents (though the total number of members in limited). To apply, send a letter to the town's Select Board (at Town Hall, 71 Mt. Vernon St.) expressing your interest.
