2014 Fairhaven Cultural Council Grant Award Winners

Congratulations to the Fairhaven Cultural Council's LCC Grant award winners for 2014!

In addition to demonstrating compliance with Massachusetts Cultural Council and local grant project guidelines, winning projects demonstrated the most benefit to our community and specifically for residents of Fairhaven, providing opportunities for all ages to participate in a variety of arts and humanities areas. 
 
Support for the Local Cultural Council (LCC) grant program is provided annually by the Massachusetts Cultural Council as well as from the town of Fairhaven. Funding allotted by the town of Fairhaven is earmarked to support events that promote tourism and attract visitors to our local businesses; those funds were awarded accordingly.

Many of these events and programs will be offered for free admission or for affordable ticket prices; many offer senior discounts as well. Visit the links below and our blog and Facebook pages throughout the year for updates on when these projects will be taking place.
