Winchester Cultural Council

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. The WCC also conducts activities to enrich the cultural life of the town, including Art in August, promotes involvement in the arts, and works to build a better community for local artists and cultural creators.
